After training at Goldsmith's College of Art, University of
London, obtaining a National Diploma of Design in Illustration,
then one in Embroidery and my Art Teacher's Diploma, I taught
art and needlecraft in various secondary schools and adult
education institutes in Greenwich, Eltham, Sidcup and Bromley. I
then became a lecturer in Embroidery and Crafts at Stockwell
College of Education in Bromley for student teachers.
When this college closed after my
being there for thirteen years, I trained at Sir John Cass
College, London Metropolitan University in Jewellery and
Enamelling, gaining their Certificate of Jewellery and
Enamelling and a Higher National Diploma. I then taught these
subjects as well, right up to the present.
I also took part in the two and
a half year Millennium Embroidery Project - an eight panel
applique and embroidery hanging depicting the history of
Greenwich from Roman times to the present, now owned by
Greenwich Council. |
