About your instructor: Rachael Bell is a BA Sculpture Graduate of Edinburgh College of Art Class of 2021. Bell works with Sculpture, Ceramics, Painting, Textiles and Photography. Bell’s practice is not restricted in materials, shifting from sculpture to punch needle art, painting and ceramics etc. Rachel loves teaching the art of punch needle, believing it is a valued craft that should be shared especially in younger generations.
Required: yourself - and your enthusiasm. Rachael suggests that you might want to think about what sort of designs you fancy creating- if you struggle to make that sort of decision under pressure! Otherwise, she will definitely give you some ideas!
