Marianne has a genuine passion for teaching and creating beautiful objects with simple tools and beautiful fibres. 

"Making things is one of my ways to tell a story - by shaping the material at hand, I am able to give voice to the tales of everyday life. Sometimes,those materials have their own words to add and so the story can often have a twist or an ending that surprises even the author."
