I discovered Ecoprinting around 7 years ago just as I was winding down from a long career teaching Food and Textiles in secondary schools.
Initially I was printing, exhibiting and selling locally to my home but I was always asked the same question ‘How do you do it?’ Teaching Wwrkshops was the natural progression and I soon found myself teaching in various venues up and down the country sharing my passion for Ecoprinting.
As a very experienced teacher, I know the importance of planning workshops meticulously to ensure every participant understands the techniques achieves great results and has the confidence to be able to print at home. I always strive to exceed people expectations!
I am inspired by the beauty of the natural world and my father, an artist, who taught me how to look and appreciate. I am a passionate gardener and allotment holder, growing plants for ecoprinting and fruit and vegetables for another interest cooking.
I love sport and was a Gamesmaker for London Olympics 2012 and then a Team Leader for the Rugby World Cup in 2015
