I was drawn into the art of mosaic with a weekend workshop in Taupo 2002 learning basic techniques with a hammer and tiles approach and soon after got hooked on the possibilities that fine china and porcelain offered, this still being my preferred medium. Having been a dress maker in the ’80’s” helped to translate my designs to dress making in china my passion being human form along with shoes and a lot more. It is a thrill for me to transform treasured broken pieces into Heirlooms with heart warming stories to share each piece comes with a poem thrown in commissions a joy for me. Today I look forward to sharing my skill though weekend Masterclass Workshops.
