Anita Quansah

As a mixed media textile artist and tutor, my practice combines traditional techniques with contemporary approaches, offering students the opportunity to explore the boundless possibilities of textile art. With extensive experience in both creating and teaching, I have developed expertise in a variety of methods, from hand stitching and dyeing to experimental techniques such as layering, collage, and the incorporation of unconventional materials. My work is driven by a passion for creativity, storytelling, and innovation, qualities that are reflected in every lesson I deliver.

The strength of my teaching lies in its dynamic and student-focused approach. I design each session to suit the needs of the individual or group, balancing technical skills with an emphasis on self-expression. My lessons are practical, engaging, and tailored to inspire confidence, whether working with beginners eager to explore or experienced artists refining their craft. By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, I encourage students to take creative risks, experiment with new ideas, and develop their own artistic voice.

What distinguishes me as a tutor is my ability to integrate fine art principles with the expressive freedom of mixed media, encouraging students to push boundaries while maintaining a strong foundation in craftsmanship. I bring enthusiasm, patience, and a talent for breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps. My aim is not only to teach skills but also to nurture creative thinking, leaving students with both technical knowledge and a renewed passion for textile art.
