When teaching adults, I try to acknowledge their previous learnt experiences and how this can be related to the teaching that I am delivering. Through my weaving workshops I aim to provide a calming and inspiring experience.What Inspires my workThrough my weaving, I capture the essence of a thought or feeling as a physical, textural expression. I like to explore landscapes and trees, also medical and complimentary practices.www.jackietapestry.comInstagram: @jackietapestry @jackietapestrieswww.facebook.com/jackietapestriesSee my work: "Woven Worlds" Exhibition at the Paxton Centre, 2nd -29th April.
