Workshops and teaching
2019 - 2025

During orientation week for new fashion students at University of the Arts London, natural dye expert Florence Hawkins and I taught a workshop on the Central Saint Martins roof garden. To present nontoxic, sustainable alternatives with tangible sources (like the leaves growing in a raised planter bed on the roof above the studio) just as these young people enter an intense period of learning and defining their design approach, felt critical.
As a workshop leader, I aim to co-create group dynamics where creative confidence is accessible to all. Recently I’ve been hired to lead workshops in natural dyeing & color modification, sustainable design, plastics upcycling, & sewing in community centres, within secondary school art programs, & at conventions.
