Come and make something!
I believe that art and design empowers individuals to flourish and cultivates invaluable, transferable skills. As an ideas lead and innovative graphic artist, I employ creativity coaching and facilitation techniques to lead experimental, insightful, and playful in-person workshops.
My goal is to ignite participants' imaginations and nurture their creativity through a process of guided exploration. This approach encourages participants to challenge unproductive thoughts, habits, and actions, enabling them to explore new materials, techniques, and creative processes that spark joy and enhance well-being.

FAQs
What is your refund policy?
If your ticket costs less than £10, I am unable to offer a refund.
If your ticket costs £10 or more, a refund will only be issued if the space can be resold. A £5 admin fee per ticket will be deducted from any refund issued.
Alternatively, you may transfer your booking to another listed session of equal or lesser value, provided you give at least 48 hours' notice before the start of your original session.
As a small independent business, venue hire and materials must be paid for in advance. Low-cost workshops under £10 tend to see last-minute cancellations that cannot be filled at short notice, which is why refunds cannot be offered at that price point.
If there are no refund, can I give my ticket to a friend?
Yes sure - just drop me an email to let me know that what's happening.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
No, just book a ticket.
I'll provide all the art materials you need. You're welcome to bring your own ideas, materials, sketchbook etc. if you'd like to.
What time should I arrive?
I suggest you plan to arrive 10 to 15 mins before the session starts.
I aim to arrive at half an hour before any workshop I am leading to set up. So I'll be there if you arrive earlier than expected.
If you are held up for whatever reason, just join us when you can and I'll explain any key information you may have missed.
Do I need to be 'good' at, or have lots of experience with art?
No! I believe art and creativity is for everyone - so please come along! I'll encourage and support you to find ways of working that you enjoy and suit you.
