"Karen delivered such an innovative & engaging workshop; it has acted as a truly inspirational catalysis for Textiles, Fashion & Costume, Art & Graphic Design students alike. Her innovative & contemporary approach to textile mediums allowed students to explore a new perspective on traditional materials & processes. Karen embeds the core values of Art & Design, her passion for her concept is the fundamental foundation of her work & she samples extensively exploring all boundaries & possibilities. Karen’s manifestation of the development & refinement processes enforces both curriculum specifications & that of how to become a successful creative in a challenging industry. Not only does Karen’s delivery reinforce unit content but her enthusiasm for that of her own work & that produced by the students was infectious, she instilled confidence & pride into students- creating such a buzz! This workshop has supported both high grade & high aspirations! I couldn’t thank her enough!".
