Ann Cook - Exhibitor

I have always enjoyed sewing and creativity since childhood. With help from my mother I learnt how to make curtains and loose covers. Hobby sewing was embroidery until the kits became no challenge, spinning and lace making helped for a while, weaving is still challenging.

I started 6 years of Art & Design, doing City & Guilds Parts I and II in Design & Embroidery, now my work is evolving into innumerable areas, using material, threads, wood, paint, metal and any thing that takes my eye for further use.

I have some very dear friends who help me technically – Paul for wood and advice, Jim T with welding, David for computer, the late Roger B with “can it be done” . Two of my sons-in-law with supplies of muscle and teasing.
