Workshops and Courses

My workshops are an invitation to explore your creativity in a gentle and open way.

Whether you are just beginning or have years or experience, you’ll be guided through process-led ways of working that will help you loosen perfectionism and feel more at ease with how you make.

I create calm, supportive spaces where you can build confidence in your own creative practice while spending time with like minded people.

You can see current workshops and courses as well as previous student work below.
