CLAIRE BENN & LESLIE MORGAN

Leslie and Claire have been working together since 1996. They formed Committed to Cloth in 2000 as a result of their shared love of textiles - both are practicing artists who also love to teach, as "to teach is to learn twice”. 

Their skill base and experience spans wet work (dyeing, screen printing, etc.), dry work (stitch, construction, textile art, etc.) and personal development (composition and design, personal imagery, feedback and critique). 

The personal development aspect of teaching, and encouraging independence in the student is an important part of their vision - as is tutor access. Leslie and Claire want students to have the chance of genuine, personal one-to-one time, and co-teaching is one way of achieving this. Encouraging students to constantly assess and consider their work in progress is critical, as learning process and technique is one thing. Claiming them and moving on to make intentional - or purposeful - work is another.
