Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Workshop
6-9pm Park House School Hall

This promises to be an evening of entertainment as students, teachers, parents and Newbury knitters and crocheters have a go at creating some hyperbolic coral reef.

Following a workshop Lisa, Skein Queen and I attended back in April we have been trying to recruit fibre enthusiasts to join the project.

For further info visit the IFF website to see what has been going and feel inspired to join the mini exhibition we are creating that will eventually be donated to the main exhibition in London.

We have had lots of support so far with some tanks being donated to showcase the work and The Wool Shop in Newbury will be providing us with some alternative and unusual yarns to try out.Newbury Weekly News have also agreed to come and visit us and document the evening, which is brilliant news!

If you fancy joining us then come down on the 1st of July with your hook and wool at the ready and we will get you started.

See you there... oh and don't forget to bring everyone you know!

All about me....

Born and bred in Blackpool I ended up down south after completing a degree in Textile Art at Winchester School of Art. After a stint in the world of publishing (Telos Textile Art Books) I decided to have a go a teaching. I was very lucky to get my first position as Head of Textiles in a Secondary and Sixth Form College in Newbury. After three years I am still loving it and building up my textile empire.

I very rarely have time to create my own work, I struggle to stick to one thing, so I have several projects on the go at once. I suppose it is a kind of textiles ADHD!
I have recently become obsessed with knitting and this has led me to start a knitting group (Knit Happens in Newbury) at Borders Bookstore in the Retail Park. A member of the group pointed me in the direction of blogging and this has led me to create one for the group and one of my own.

I am constantly searching for others who share my obsession with anything 'textiley' and look forward to finally showing the world what I do.
