Katie is a historic textile artist, who teaches everything from the craft of nalbinding to making stinging nettle fabric. Studying archaeology at university, she learnt about ancient nettle fabrics, just like the Wild Swans fairytale, where a princess makes nettle shirts to transform her brothers from swans to humans.
She now practises as many textile crafts as possible: spinning, embroidery, sewing, mending etc. She teaches classes in these crafts to keep them alive in the modern day.
