The creative mind does not rest easily…
…and after touching base with numerous former workshop participants, artist friends and people whose input and opinions I greatly respect I am ready to venture into the virtual teaching realm by offering a few learning opportunities.
Are you disappointed your annual guild gathering or retreat was cancelled due to physical and social distancing rules?
Is your creative cluster unable to meet in person this summer and your hopes to receive face-to-face feedback on the work you have been exploring?
Are you stumped for ideas or overwhelmed with too much inspiration and are looking for some focused suggestions and guidance?
Look no further! After years of facilitating master classes and guided studio sessions in textile design and techniques I have decided to make myself available to you via the ZOOM platform.
Below please find short descriptions of what is on offer or what is coming up in the near future. Scroll down for details on workshop delivery. Thank you for your interest. My contact information is also provided below in case you have questions.
Temporary Notice: In light of the sale of our property in Saskatchewan and a move to Nova Scotia I am postponing the start of online classes till spring 2021. I have continued with individual consultations as these are easier to fit into my days. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Group Consultation:
Is your creative cluster looking for help/advice/input pertaining to your art practice, a design dilemma, sound business advice in the creative industry? This is your opportunity to connect. Experience has shown that a shorter than 90 minute group consultation was very rushed. 90 minutes for up to three participants yields a more satisfactory experience!

To start the process contact Anna. You will then receive a detailed questionnaire to help Anna prepare for the session.
Coming soon!
