Christine Green
I am passionate about art and design and I enjoy sharing this passion with my students. I take a holistic approach to art and craft, often mixing and matching disciplines and styles.I trained as a graphic designer and worked for the BBC creating title sequences. I gained my PGCE at Goldsmiths and I now run numerous workshops teaching paper cutting, hand drawn lettering and various styles of patchworking. I also give inspirational talks about my work. I take a relaxed, fun approach to my crafts and encourage my students to do the same whilst developing their techniques and style, and providing them with individual support as they grow in confidence.
