| Introduction | Teaching Philosophy: Handmade garments and accessories should stand the test of time. The quality of the materials used, the techniques employed and the thoughtfulness of the design should honour the time invested. To paraphrase William Morris, “There should be nothing in your closet that you do not find useful, believe to be beautiful or feel comfortable in.” In my classes, it is not about being a slave to the pattern or “doing it right,” but rather about producing an item that suits you and is likely to last for years to come. Artist Statement: Everyday objects should delight. They should feel good in your hand. They should bring colour and vibrancy to your day. You should enjoy using them because they are beautifully made and do what they are designed to do. I am a maker-designer of everyday objects. |
