Art tuition, school workshops, studio mentorship, creativity boost...
"Wonderful experience connecting with our inner child, our creativity and being involved with such positive outcome! It is a pleasure and a blessing to be part of this group."
GROUP/SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
I have extensive experience of running workshops for Primary and Secondary school groups, adults, adults with additional needs and also life drawing classes. I have worked in Wales, Sussex and Devon delivering workshops and projects.
I can create bespoke workshops to tie in with theme or topic and use my experience in embodied movement, mindfulness, reiki and nature connection to provide sessions that are engaging, fun, inspirational and instructive.

A Certain Kind of Light
Two day gallery based workshop to create a large scale outdoor sculpture in response to the exhibition. Using over 300 plastic bottles - taking inspiration from David Batchelor's piece and Cerith Wyn Evans' Chandelier. The piece was created with West Rise junior school and hung in the trees at Elderflower fields Festival as part of the Sculpture Trail.
Ravilious & Co: The Pattern of Friendship
Gallery workshops with Primary Schools in response to the exhibition, looking at shape pattern, collaboration and creative choices through; woodblock printmaking, creative writing, blackout poetry, sketch book work, collaborative drawing games, and fun sensory exercises.
The Art of Attachment
The Art of Attachment - I ran six weekly workshops for the Towner Gallery in connection with The Art of Attachment - an arts based project led by local substance misuse charity, Brighton Oasis Project.
We looked at connecting to the individual creative process and the benefits of that as a way to express difficult emotions, to give an alternative to 'talking’ and also to relax and be playful.
Through poetry, printmaking, painting and drawing, sessions explored creative choice making, relationships between image and text, sensory connection and memory.
A green and Pleasant Land
Working with Adults at Recovery college. I ran three, six week projects on drawing, painting and printmaking focusing on mental health and recovery. Students created work in response to the exhibition and we worked on creating an environment that allowed creative expression, exploration, using fun, relaxing, sensory exercises and simple techniques, relating to improved wellbeing as well as creative skills and development.
