I create experiences for people to explore their creativity in an inclusive, relaxed and fun way.
Creative Workshops
I run workshops that teach people a creative skill, guide them to create something wonderful to take home and simply give them time to play and relax.
Who?
I can run workshops that suit all ages and abilities.
Where?
I have run workshops in a myriad of places including community spaces, schools, care homes, hospitals, approved premises, festivals and events, and even in a derelict nuclear bunker!
I can adapt to any space.
What?
I enjoy creating bespoke workshops to meet the needs or aims of the participants.
The most popular workshops I run are paper marbling, monoprinting, fabric stamp-making, willow lantern making and felt-making. I have run so many different workshops in the past and have so many exciting ideas for ones to run in the future.
Community Projects
I design projects which bring people together creatively.
I work with organisations, businesses and community groups to develop projects which meet their needs and objectives.
I am often asked to design projects that aim to:
Encourage people to engage with an event or organisation
Produce a bespoke artwork
Strengthen a community
Build peoples confidence
Teach people something new
Improve peoples wellbeing
I can run projects which engage whole communities as well as projects for specific groups of people.
I have a lot of experience working with people of all ages, from diverse background and people who have different abilities and experience different barriers.
I specialise in working with older people, people with dementia and people with additional needs.
I create bespoke projects that suit a theme or aim. I love a challenge and have created projects to meet the strangest of ideas in the past!
Events - Project Management - Exhibitions
I love events, being able to create an exciting and new opportunities for people brings me a lot of joy. Events bring people together to celebrate, to learn, experience new things, and old things in a new way, they can create cherished memories and lasting connections.
I was brought up in events as my parents had an events and marketing business, since then I have developed my skills in a variety of settings
