Meet your Teacher
Hello, I'm Kate! I've been making things since I was a small child and over the years have tried my hand at just about everything: embroidery, sewing, lace-making, knitting, cordwaining, papercraft, silk painting, cosmetic formulation, weaving, sugarcraft... you name it, I've probably had a go at it!In 2022 I founded Gaia's Little Helpers (now called Natur Cosmetics), selling natural and sustainable cosmetics. The following year I added Gaia Gifts, to supply ethically sourced handmade gifts. But one of my great loves has always been teaching. That's why I decided to start these workshops, to pass on some of the knowledge I've learnt. I am fully insured for all the crafts I teach.
