Classes and workshops at Four Otter Craft Studio.

A teacher’s heart. A designer’s eye. A knitter’s soul.

I’m passionate about helping knitters of all levels grow their skills and their confidence. Whether I’m teaching one-to-one, leading a class at Four Otter Craft Studio, or preparing samples for designers, I bring warmth, clarity, and years of technical expertise to every project.

My background in textile design, technical editing, and education means you’ll learn why your knitting works, not just how — so you can make it your own.

You can find me teaching at

Four Otter Craft Studio · Tea & Crafting · Knit With Attitude · Creative Health Camden · and major UK shows.

Trusted by leading brands, designers, and craft communities

My knitting, teaching, and technical expertise have reached from classrooms to couture and from festivals to film sets — celebrating craftsmanship, connection, and creativity.

Nessa was such a great instructor. She was so patient and friendly. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the class immensely. This was our first time trying knitting and she made it so fun! Will definitely be recommending to my friends.
