Mary Halbert is an
experienced teacher, having worked in primary schools in both Warwickshire and
Solihull since qualifying in 1989. She runs Crazy Mary Crafts and also work
part time at her local village primary school here in Kingsbury, North Warwickshire.
Her passion is art & craft, particularly textiles, and it
has long been her secret (or perhaps not so secret!) ambition to make at least
part of her living from this obsession. She is ‘into’ loads of textile related
stuff, including hand/machine embroidery, felting, needle felting, papermaking,
patchwork, quilting, beading, slightly random toymaking, mixed media etc etc….!
She now focuses on her
teaching skills and concentrates on providing classes and teaching textile
crafts, regularly leading workshops for adults. In addition She provides
textile days and workshops to schools and community/social groups, often
creating legacy pieces of artwork for display.
Over the next few years She
also intends to set up an online shop selling her textile craft kits, which are
always popular purchases at her classes and craft fairs/shows.
