Learning new skills

If anyone told me that I would be able to learn to print textiles with no prior experience I would have thought they were dreaming. Yet almost 10 years on I achieved it and it was some journey. I learned such a lot, my ability to work with minimal supervision, coupled with a strong focus on quality, meant I could take full control of my work and ensure that all projects met the highest of standards.
