I love running creative workshops for adults and children. My previous workshops have focused on collage and mixed media outcomes, which help you enjoy the messy creative process! 

Getting involved in artistic and creative activities is known to have a positive impact on our mental health and well-being. As well as having lived experience with mental health difficulties, I am also a highly experienced creative. Therefore I am very passionate about workshops as I know personally how much having a creative outlet has helped my own wellbeing. 

With a degree in BA (Hons) in Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern from Leeds Arts University, and a 7+ year career in Art, Design, and Illustration I have a wealth of knowledge in various mediums. As well as the workshop, I can also provide an optional career talk and portfolio showcase. This would be great for budding Illustrators and Designers in schools/colleges/universities, that have any questions about the industry. 

The workshops can run with a theme of your choice e.g. Christmas, Valentines, etc. if you prefer or it can be more general and open to experimenting.
It could be for an event, be it corporate or for fun, an occasion like a birthday party or hen do.

I would also like to run creative workshops as a therapeutic outlet in hospitals and healthcare settings.
