 About
the Author
Pam's two passions are crafts and travel. After studying fine arts
she traveled extensively in Europe. She returned home to South Africa
and completed her studies to become an art teacher. After marrying,
she and her husband decided to build a catamaran and sail around
the world. They sailed across the Atlantic from Durban, South Africa,
to Brazil. Sailing slowly northward, they graveled via the San Alas
Islands and through the Panama Canal and eventually landed in Peru
where they stayed for two years working on an irrigation project.
While in Peru Pam studied the archaeology of the are and graveled
to many of the archaeological sites. The colors of the ancient weavings
found in the Paracas desert still influence her work.
While her two children were growing up she started a craft market
in her hometown, Somerset West, which has become one of the best
in South Africa, providing a platform for excellent craft work.
She lives near Cape Town and dyes and prints fabric, which she
sells regularly at quilt shows in England, UK and once at the International
Quilt Festival and Market in Houston. She also volunteer teaches
different crafts to disadvantaged teenagers because she feels that
it will make a difference in their lives. Other members of the craft
market are invited to do short courses such as glass bead making,
card and felt making and pinhole photography.
She writes articles on quiltmaking for British Patchwork and Quilting.
Her two previous books were The South African Guide to Fabric
Screen Printing, published by Strulk in South Africa and New
Holland Press in the UK, and Beadwork, a World Guide (co-authored
with Caroline Crabtree), published by Thames and Hudson in the UK,
Rizzoli in the USA, and translated into French, German and Japanese.
