Hi, I’m Coralie, a quilt maker, artist and workshop facilitator, from Manchester.
I’m on a mission to add more creativity, more fun and more adventure to my own life and hopefully, yours too!
My main love is patchwork quilting with an emphasis on modern, colour play. I’m a huge fan of colour blocking, negative space and geometric lines.
Aside from sewing, I’m passionate about other art disciplines despite a lack of expertise. I have thrown a wobbly clay pot, carved a crooked wooden spoon and baked some terrible bread. My continued learning and experiences as a beginner has driven my enthusiasm for teaching others.
I’m an experienced workshop tutor and have worked with both young children and adults. I love encouraging others to explore their own creative ideas in a very hands-on way that offers a gentle antidote to the pressures of the digital age.
You can read an interview on the Folksy blog with me where I discuss my inspiration and the importance of craft in today’s world.
I’m so fortunate to be part of the gang at Pollard Yard. We are a community of small businesses run from shipping containers in the heart of Manchester. We’re right next to Holt Town tram stop and have onsite parking for cars and bikes. Visits are very welcome but please make an appointment first.
Away from the studio, I can be found stomping up a hill, sleeping in a tent or cycling slowly in search of coffee and cake.
