Welcome to the TSIA Video Course & Resources Archive
After many rewarding years of teaching thread sketching and thread painting, I have officially retired from professional textile art coaching to focus on new adventures.
To ensure my teaching resources remain available to the creative community, I am delighted to share that I am making select course materials available to the community free of charge via YouTube.
Below, you will find links to my YouTube channel and the accompanying PDF guides for the courses offered. These are designed to be used alongside the video lessons now hosted on YouTube.
Three premium courses will…in due course…be made available.
Important Note on Support
These resources are provided as a self-study library.
As I am now fully retired from this profession, I am no longer active in this field and cannot respond to enquiries, provide technical support, or offer feedback on projects.
These courses are designed to be comprehensive and clear. I hope you enjoy working through them independently.
