Miss Crichton \u2013 Teacher of Art & Design and Fashion & Textiles<\/strong><\/p>\n

After graduating from Heriot-Watt University with a BA (Hons) in Fashion, I now teach both Art & Design and Fashion & Textiles, sharing my passion for creativity every day. I love illustrating and exploring all things arty, whether that\u2019s in the classroom or my own sketchbook. When I\u2019m not teaching or creating, you\u2019ll usually find me at a gig, wandering through museums, or uncovering old, interesting places. For me, art isn\u2019t just something I do\u2014it\u2019s a way of life that I\u2019m always excited to share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
