alex o'hara

Alex O'Hara's Quilts offers One to One Tuition in Patchwork and Quilting in the comfort of your own home. We work at your pace allowing you to fully understand techniques and practice them until you feel fully confident. I can teach you a large range of skills from cutting accurately with a rotary cutter, sewing a straight line, (harder than it sounds) Applique, English paper piecing, following a patchwork pattern, putting a quilt together and free motion quilting. What you learn is up to you. I usually work in 3 hour sessions as there is a lot to take in and practice.

nicola crocker ceramics

From an early age I would always be knitting, crocheting, making cross stitch and borrowing my Mum’s old Singer sewing machine to make dolls clothes. At the age of 12 I remember my Nan buying my sister and I a knitting machine and we would spend many hours knitting up master pieces! Although on leaving school I did not realise my true vocation in life, it now seems natural that I have ended up working in the craft industry. In 2007 I embarked on an Art & Design course, followed by a Ceramics Degree. Since then I have been working as a Ceramicist & Teacher, selling my work in Galleries and exhibiting at Sculpture Exhibitions; Teaching and running workshops. For 8 years I was running a busy community studio in North Devon. I have recently moved my studio back home so I can concentrate on my own work; as well as small group lessons and workshops.
