Claire Benn, Textile / Quilting Artist • About the Instructor
In 2001 Claire Benn teamed up with Leslie Morgan to form ‘Committed to Cloth’ which became one of the foremost textile teaching practices in the U.K., with seven great books published during the partnership. In 2014 Claire went solo in order to focus more on her own work which now explores texture, stitch, and the interconnection of her travels and writing.
Working with students in a community of like-minded people is a continued joy as teaching provides such a positive feedback loop; everyone learns. Her focus as a tutor is to enable; she presents clear demonstrations and instruction, believes in straight-talking, offers guidance, pulling and encouragement.
