'All my workshops are based on encouraging sustainability, building community and supporting attendees well-being.' Kim studied BA (Hons) Textile Crafts at the University of Huddersfield, specialising in textile printing. She also studied weaving, felting, bookbinding, dark room photography and fine art printing at L'Ecole des Beaux Artes at Besancon, The Academy of Design in Kuopio and Leeds University, as well as studying a range of creative techniques on a foundation course at UcCA Canterbury. Kim's workshops are run with a relaxed, informal and inclusive atmosphere, letting people go at their own pace. Materials, guidance and technical assistance are provided but everyone is encouraged to push their own creativity, and most of all have a good time!
