Heather has always been interested in textiles and learnt to
sew, knit and crochet at a very young age.
Time devoted to creating has varied over the years, and it was only
after taking early retirement several years ago that she was able to
concentrate on this once again.
In order to learn about creating original designs, Heather
enrolled on a City & Guilds Certificate course in Machine Embroidery in
2015. She completed this course in 2017
and was awarded one of the student prizes.
During the course she discovered a love for natural dyeing, especially
natural contact dyeing (eco printing) and continues to experiment to push the
boundaries in this area. Occasionally
she runs workshops to share this exciting natural process.
Heather also enjoys felting (wet, nuno and needle felting)
and making 3D textile items. She is
currently studying for an Advanced Stitched Textile qualification through ‘Creative
Stitch’.
