Clare has always had a love of Textiles, dressmaking, felt making, silk paper making and printed textiles are particular interests and a passion for colour and texture inspire her work.  Recent trips to India and a growing collection of old printing blocks have been at the centre of block printing workshops, but the use of the heat press add a new dimension to her printed textile work. Clare has exhibited her Textile work within Art Societies and galleries in the UK and shared her enthusiasm for Textiles as a teacher to all age groups for many years.
