I have been making and designing bobbin lace since 1993 and have been teaching regularly since the the early 2000s.

I learnt to make lace under the tutelage of the internationally renowned lace maker and teacher Pat Read MBE.

My lace specialism is Modern Milanese which is based on traditional Milanese lace braids and techniques but with added Withof and other techniques used and developed to suit my own particular style in this kind of lace.

I hope that you enjoy and find my videos useful. I try to explain and teach through my videos and rather than just demonstrate the techniques  I try to explain the mechanics of what I am doing and why as much as possible.

There is no substitute I feel for in person teaching and learning but I hope that my content here will help to bridge the gap where there are no in person classes available.

I am working to add more content to the site so do let me know if there is anything you would like me to add to my list of videos and I will do my best.
