Creating A Multispecies Framework Using Intuitive Interspecies Communication

Interested in adopting a multispecies teaching framework in your universities, or an interspecies art practice into your studios?
Please contact me to discuss how we can work together.

Skills Workshops

The cross-fertilisation of traditional craft skills, new materials, and new technologies and environments fascinates me.
I love to share these skills and see people explore their boundaries, often turning up the most incredible outcomes.
Please use the Contact Me page to get in touch about inclusion in symposiums, lectures and residencies or if you would like to host one of my workshops for your group or university.

Creature Workshop

​​

A one or two day workshop for
a group of at least 7. Inspired
by my Mother Of All sculpture, participants use one of my
pre-sculpted forms to create a textile creature's head.
(Seen here part finished.)

Suitable for adults and
accompanied children (13yrs+).

Acid Dyeing for Beginners

​​Perfect for the complete novice.

A half-day workshop learning the basics of acid dyeing wool.
At the end of the workshop, each participant will have two lengths of personally-dyed roving to take away for felting or spinning. 
Workshop can alternatively cover yarn dyeing for knitters and crocheters.

Wild Carding

Then learn to wild card them into batts ready for spinning
or felting.

how to freeform crochet. Course reveals how I construct my signature shapes and include them in my freeform crochet artworks.

Building a Woodland Loom

A one to two day workshop learning how to build a woodland loom.

Using technology used by the Vikings (and possibly in Neolithic times) you will build a loom in the trees which can be re-used. Then learn to warp it up and get weaving with whatever inspires you!

No experience necessary, but at least 3 people needed.

 

Woodland Adornment

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Workshop Example: ACID DYEING WORKSHOPS 

(with a little wild carding thrown in for good measure) Learn how to create the fibre blends I made for the late Alexander McQueen and I use for my own textile installation artworks that show in galleries worldwide.

•  I will introduce you to the different fleeces and fibres I use, with a range of samples to handle, and pictures of my work.

• Then it’s down to business. Using one of two inspirational images you bring with you, you will learn how to acid dye small samples of my fleece in your chosen colours and set them to dry over lunch.

•I will explain how I use (and abuse) the acid dyeing techniques you learned in the morning to create my mottled roving.

• Using your second image, you will mottle dye a 50g length of roving in your own colour choices ready for spinning, felting or stroking.

•Using your samples and image from the morning, you will wild card them with a exciting range of additions to create a batt ready for spinning, felting or drooling over.

Each workshop attendee will leave with a 50g length of hand-dyed roving, a 50g wild-carded batt.
