8 hollyoake close, Oldbury, Oldbury, West Midlands, B688NL Biography

For the last ten years, I have been a member of two reenactor groups, details of which can be found on my website.  

Since retiring from secondary teaching I have taught willow work to mostly children at weekends.  Most of what is made takes between 5 and 25 minutes, either working with me or their parents, once they have been shown how to help their child. A sample of what we make together can be seen below. On my website, you will also see the work of a 14-year-old who attended one of my basket-making sessions. The photographs were taken by her mother who also attended the two-day event.

I also teach at Riverside House in Stourbridge on Thursdays to the Students who have left the Glasshouse College, Stourbridge.
