I have a wealth of experience working with young people, adults and those with additional needs, both one to one and in larger groups and latterly online through virtual workshops.
I am also a Creative Practitioner working with Meadow Arts

Bubble Painting at Home
Looking for some creative and fun things to do at home? In this virtual art class, you'll be shown how to make mesmerising bubble paint patterns using materials that you can easily find around the home!
This is a pre-recorded class so you can pause and rewind at any time if you miss anything and work at your own pace. And don’t forget I’m always here for questions, just drop me a DM!
Don’t worry if you’ve never done it before, it’s super easy to follow and can be done using equipment you can find around the house.
I’m pleased to say this workshop is also suitable for those with limb differences as the patterns are created by blowing the paint!
Once you’ve made the tools you can try making as many colours and patterns as you can dream up.
In this online class, through step-by-step guidance, you'll learn the satin stitch which you will then use to hand embroider your daisy. Together, we will then go over how to construct it into a wearable, totally unique DIY necklace. That's right, this unique craft class combines embroidery with jewellery making - so you'll be learning two skills at once!
Don't worry if you're new to embroidery, this beginner-friendly class will take a slow pace and will allow plenty of opportunities for questions are queries.
I delivered a virtual 'Crafternoon' for Birmingham Mind making christmas decorations from items you could find around the home. The event was a great success with a chilled atmosphere and some christmas music.
Natural Block Printing for Multi Story Youth Arts Festival
I carried out this virtual workshop for 2Faced Dance Company's Multi Story Youth Arts Festival in December 2020. The project was support by Arts Council England Funding and was a virtual workshop for 11-24 year olds delivered live via Zoom.
Screen Printing at Home
During the coronavirus lockdown, I was commissioned by Creative Colab to create an accessible 'at home' workshop for their teenage audience. I filmed and produced a 30 minute workshop on how to create screen prints using household materials.
This workshop was produced with support from Arts Council England

Art Attack,Tamworth
Running creative workshops for young people in empty shopping units. I was involved in overseeing a number of activities including spirograph, drawing and bubble painting. This event involved working with a high turnover of people, encouraging children and families to engage in some of the activities we were offering as well as demonstrating the process.
Performance Art Workshops
Learning about how performance art can be used as a tool for creativity. This can be fun for all ages and abilities.
Sensory Workshop
I can run sensory workshops for those with additional needs to experience the freeing power of creativity.
