Maker's bio

Although I graduated with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art (painting) from West Surrey College of Art and obtained an MA Fine Art (sculpture) from the Arts University Bournemouth, I have always enjoyed working with textiles and have done so for more than 45 years. I am a practising artist and exhibit regularly as a member of the salon group of Dorset Visual Arts, Wessex Contemporary Arts and Bruton Arts Society as well as in larger collective exhibitions.

Fiona reviewed: Textile landscape workshop in Dorset

"I loved this course! It was so inspiring. Imogen demonstrated techniques, showed us examples of her own and former students' work. I came back yesterday and have already got the sewing machine out today. Imogen was a great teacher, knowing when to leave us to have a go and when to give more direction. Everything we needed was provided, including a large variety of suitable fabrics. Spacious hall with plenty of room for each student. Good directions and lots of free parking. Also...tea and homemade cake! "

Wendy reviewed: Textile landscape workshop in Dorset

"Lovely day course with Imogen. A well organised and supplied amount of necessary materials. A process new to me explained well. Examples shown, to inspire ideas. Lots of encouragement. I would recommend this as a really useful method to any people interested in textiles. The haff and ammenities were perfect. Thank you Imogen. Brilliant!!"

Cindy reviewed: Textile landscape workshop in Dorset

"Imogen is a very talented artist and teacher. She has a gentle and patient approach which filled everyone in the workshop with confidence. I have taught art myself for 30 years so I know a good teacher when I see one. I particularly valued her extensive range of materials which she provided. I was also grateful for the choice of images she offered us for inspiration. A lovely day I highly recommend and will be doing another one during the course of the coming year. (Great cake too!) "
