Presenting Fiona Bruce with new velvet embroidered cushions for the Antiques Roadshow.
My name is Christine Green – I’ve been practicing and teaching paper cutting, patchworking, and creative textiles for many years. I also am happy to take on commissions.
I offer a range of inspirational and hands-on crafting courses and workshops and am happy to come to you. My crafting classes are fun, informative and creative, they don’t require any special skills, just a willingness to learn something new. Thanks to the wonderful students I teach, no class is ever the same, and it is a fantastic opportunity to do something different and meet like minded folk. Crafting allows you to express your creativity and my contemporary spin on traditional skills make my courses rewarding and memorable experiences.
I love recycling, repairing and reimagining textiles and giving them a new purpose.
If you have a project that I could help with, please message me, and we can discuss the creative possibilities. Have a look at some of the recent projects I have worked on here.
I am now officially part of the BBC graphic design archive! And I was interviewed chatting about my work. See the interview here.
I was delighted when the very lovely Katie from ‘Arnold’s Attic’ asked me if I would like to be interviewed for her Youtube channel. Two textile loving lasses from Rochdale, what fun! Please do have a watch, ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’ and tell like-minded friends to have a look , thank you. More about Katie can be found on her website or on Facebook.
I was featured on the very first episode of ‘Make! Craft Britain’ introduced the nation to paper cutting and then teaching a group of students.
If you would like to book me for a talk or course or workshop for your group drop me a line via ‘Contact’.
I design and produce a range of eye-catching and quirky prints, cards, bags and tea towels – all using my unique, typographic paper cut designs.
They start life as thumb nail sketches which are worked up to finished designs. I then cut them out of paper freehand using a scalpel blade. The finished cuts are scanned and coloured and sent off to the printers.
Visit my shop to see what’s available. Or attend a course and explore your own creativity!
I come from a creative family, my parents were both graphic designers, my uncle was a photographer, painter and printmaker, and my grandad was a wedding photographer and painter. My creative destiny was set very early; I was going to be arty; speciality unspecified and to be honest that’s how it has been throughout my life.
I offer inspiring and highly creative courses at a variety of teaching centres across the UK or you can come to my delightful thatched cottage. Alternatively I can come to you. Expert tuition with a large dollop of fun thrown in suits both the crafting novice or more accomplished maker alike. I also offer talks to interested groups (for example the WI, U3A) and private craft workshops, these could be for a group of friends looking for a fun way of celebrating a significant occasion or just wanting to craft together.
So having paused my blog for a while and finally got myself an iPhone, I have discovered that I can blog from my phone and this is my first entry. My big news is that
Once we had delivered the velvet cushions to the Antiques Roadshow last Thursday, we had a quick scoot around Tewkesbury and were bowled over by the distinctive timbered buildings. Beautiful black and white ancient structures
The last few weeks I have been busy project managing and hand finishing a set of embroidered velvet cushions for the BBC’s ‘Antiques Roadshow’, aided by my friend, the wonderfully talented Marion (with Fiona and me)
Don’t miss my eye-catching Canvas Bags – Ideal for those little shopping trips. New design just out!
