Workshops & Events for adults:
I run 'Unruly Ecologies: An Entangled Reading Group'. It's more of a 'talking-thinking-meeting-making' group about art and ecology, with a key theme each time as a way in, and a gentle collaborative art exercise to invite participants to respond creatively to the ideas explored. Imagine a candle-lit 'banquet' around a long table, with a feast of inspiration morsels to stimulate conversation, and an array of art materials to invite practical making in response. It's about connecting with nature, with each other, and with creativity.
I also run workshops for adults to learn printmaking skills in a relaxed setting. These are suitable for all levels of experience. My 'Studio Day', a one-day introduction to printmaking takes place in my garden studio.
Previous workshops include observational animal drawings, lantern-making, beeswax candle-making, and making hand-printed Christmas cards. If you'd like to organise a a creative party or a seasonal craft workshop where your guests can learn new skills, have lots of fun, and leave with beautiful hand-crafted artwork, please get in touch.
Workshops & Events for children:
I run creative, fun and playful art workshops for children of all ages - either at school, as part of an after school club run in partnership with Noisy Book Club, or at children's parties. I am a qualified teacher with a full DBS check. I'm an experienced facilitator of community and family art workshops.
Previous activities include Lego printing, marbling, tetrapak printing, collograph, jelly printing and clay creatures. These sessions can be run indoors or outdoors in a natural setting. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
