As a child she knitted, crocheted and sewed her dollﾕs dresses. This interest stayed with her and when in a boring desk job she gave herself a 5 year plan to become self sufficient during which time she learnt to spin and weave. Edna began teaching textile techniques to adults some 30 years ago, but her interest is now mainly knitting design and braiding. She now lives in Plymouth, UK and travels the country giving talks and workshops. While working on the C&G Textile course she became involved in braiding after seeing Rodrick Owenﾕs slides of his braids at her local Guild meeting and was totally captivated. For her exam piece she braided a hanging bird table. She has studied kumihimo under Rodrick Owen in the UK and Makiko Tada in Japan. She also has a teaching certificate from the Japanese Temari Society. She has exhibited her braiding and embroidery in the UK, Tokyo and France. Traditional pattern with handspun silk Free design
