Bell’s practice is not restricted in materials, shifting from sculpture to punch needle art, painting and ceramics etc. Rachel loves teaching the art of punch needle, believing it is a valued craft that should be shared especially in younger generations.

Required: yourself - and your enthusiasm. Rachael suggests that you might want to think about what sort of designs you fancy creating- if you struggle to make that sort of decision under pressure! Otherwise, she will definitely give you some ideas!
