I am a lifelong crafter, and I've taught pottery, green woodwork and felting to participants in my small studio back in the UK and at festival workshops here in Te Tau Ihu.
Before covid changed life for us all, I ran a pottery studio in a small market town in the UK, and learned spoon carving as a side hobby from some very talented friends. Not long after I attended a women’s green woodworking course in the forest in Wales and fell in love with the art of building without power tools, and the connection I felt to my ancestry through this slow, methodical craft. I believe slow making is radical resistance in these overwhelming, technological times.
I’m so excited to guide you through a day of learning new skills and ways of working with your very capable hands!
