"Connections and relationships are so important to our thinking as textile artists. We look at something and can make associations and links within our visual memories. Within this course we will make links with our vocabulary of stitch and our knowledge of cloth. Familiar techniques may be used and seen in a different context. You may start developing stitch from the very first session. Or you may hang back whilst paper entertains you."
"We can also look at generic concepts rather than dwell on something very specific that can start to limit us. For example we may love tracing paper but actually we desire a need to explore transparency. Taking risks and creating opportunities through a cheaper material also has its advantages. We can sometimes be more productive and make choices as we take strengths in our work forward."
"Teaching has always been made easier by having your own work challenges and passing ways of solving them on to students. Studio work has benefited from decision making, time management and limitations in the teaching environment. I have said before that it is difficult to post images/conclusions about what we may produce before we have produced it! So all I will give you as images, are my starting points. My fifteen objects and a pile of papers."
