Teaching & Workshops

As a fully qualified and experienced teacher & lecturer in Art, Design & Textiles, I offer a range of knitting workshops and lectures.

My main degree is in Textile Art, having graduated from Goldsmiths College, University of London, in 1999. From there, I completed my teaching post-grad (PGCE) in Art & Design at Goldsmiths and spent a number of years teaching in mainstream schools, covering all areas of the creative curriculum, with a specialism in fashion, textiles and sculpture. I developed the A-level Textiles curriculum, organised and taught extra-curricular life-drawing classes, and ran workshops in constructed textiles (knitting and weaving). Prior to my time at Goldsmiths College, I had qualified as an Electronics Engineer and then went on to study Industrial Textiles at Bolton University, as well as a number of shorter qualification courses including silversmithing, pattern cutting and bobbin lacemaking.

As a professional teacher, I thoroughly plan all workshops and provide printed handouts. I am happy to provide the following workshops and lectures for in-person and virtual events; please click on the images below to download the overview PDF.

Based in Italy, I can easily travel to European and international yarn events. I thoroughly enjoy teaching virtual classes, and particularly enjoy working with Guilds.

If you are interested in a virtual workshop with me, or in my teaching at your yarn event, please do email me.
