Christine Davey

OOO I was so excited to see Christine Davey who came along

to give us a talk on 'Colour Theory'.

She is the one of the influential  people responsible 

for what I am doing now.

She was my City and Guilds Embroidery Tutor all those

years ago. 

It put me on a path that changed my life forever:)

She was so inspirational and also a hard task master.

We would learn a technique in the morning, experiment.

Learn traditional stitch and then the contemporary version after lunch 

then have to 'Show and Tell' the following week!

I have a similar routine to my City and Guilds class even today.

Christine was professional and always positive about our work but

also made us stretch ourselves!

If there was a new technique she would add it into the 

session and we would expand!!

Thank you so much Christine.

As she gave her talk I realised many things I hadn't

taken on board. 

I often only use three colours in class so that

participants have to mix to get a colour they want.

Christine said this is what she did,

un be knowing to me I had taken this to heart and in my 

practice!!

Again Thank you.

It also made me realise how far I have come since

doing my first City and Guilds and it has made

me very 

proud to be able to share and teach them too!
