Celebrating Nature in Cloth
A talk about how nature has always been an influence on my work, and how, over
the last few years this has developed into using methods of colouring cloth which
are less harmful to our environment, by using materials collected from the
landscape I walk daily, to give each piece a true sense of place.

daily walks within nature - whether that be in a woodland or on a beach.
