After completing her City and Guilds course, Christine gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She taught embroidery at Carmarthen Adult Education Centre for over ten years, including City and Guilds Embroidery and Design, City and Guilds Soft Furnishing at Swansea College and was embroidery advisor for B.A. and H.N.D. students at Carmarthenshire College of Art and Technology for a short time.

Many of Christine’s students continue to progress their own work, some now in a professional capacity.


Now, as an independent Tutor of stitched and embroidered textiles, Christine uses her experience, knowledge, skills and methods to inspire her students.

Committed to life-long learning, Christine offers courses and workshops in North Somerset, West Wales and nationally that without the constraints of colleges enables her to put the student first.

Currently, Christine has devised and provides courses of Masterclasses in embroidery and design in four locations. These offer students an open flexible and creative learning experience, a unique personal journey, through which they will develop their own skills and styles in an encouraging and supportive environment.
