Workshops

I offer a range of creative and empowering workshops. These are described as inspiring, relaxed and thoughtful, working with low cost and easy to enjoy materials [eg pastels, paint, watercolour pencils, clay] to explore self expression and/or a theme. They are mark making rather than pure art workshops, the focus being more on the process that the outcome. Examples are :

*Inspired by Nature series – connecting with and responding to Nature by exploring line, colour, shape etc. Mindful and uplifting;

* The Creative Woods – workshops responding to the seasons that include time outdoors (weather permitting)

*Exploring Mark making – a series of workshops enabling us to find our own mark and style using a range of media in an enjoyable and empowering way;

*One-off themed workshops – eg Exploring Transitions in our lives, Marking the Menopause, Introducing Therapeutic Arts or bespoke to fit interest of a group eg Experiences of being a carer, International Women’s Day, Mindful Art;

*Creative sessions from 1 hour to a full day, designed specifically to the needs of teams or organisations. This may include creative team building, developing an organisation’s vision or themed workshops, using a wide range of activities drawn from therapeutic arts.

Workshops have been run in collaboration with organisations including The Whitworth Gallery, RHS Bridgewater Gardens, REACHE and GP trainees.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss possible workshops or to be on mailing list for these.

Feedback from team building day June 2026:

Fun, engaging, beautiful way to get to know each other really loved it!

Could have been at this all day, and my coworkers say they’ve gotten to know me for the first time. Thank you!
