Her practice established was at her MA at the National Glass Centre , Sunderland University where she  began reconsidering textile heritage and using contemporary and glass craft techniques, such as kiln forming and later with a Curator Space Bursary 'lamp working' - using a glass torch.

She continued research visits to the Archive at Sunny Bank Mills In Leeds, which culminated in a body of work called 'Emotional Fabric' which explore textile analogies and processes such as Selvedge to illustrate emotional connections.
