Hello!

I am an imaginative artist and workshop facilitator who loves working with people, their personal narratives and ideas to inspire and shape the varied work I produce. My practice is most often ideas led, but can take the form of drawing, mark-making, weaving, collage, stop motion and graphic design.

I have diverse experience within education and the arts, having taught in schools, managed youth programmes in the arts and having worked at a community-led design practice. Alongside these part time posts, I have worked for 7 years as a freelance creative educator, delivering educational programmes for groups with varying needs and approaches to learning. From SEN, young offenders, primary and secondary school students, over 55s and community groups, i've delivered projects in a wide range of settings. I am an Arts Award Advisor and have successfully assisted 40 young people in total achieve the accreditation. 

Alongside my work as a freelance educator, I set up my own business - Head & Hands. 

Head & Hands is a curated store of handmade gifts for wellbeing, and a programme of mindful making workshops. The 'slow craft' sessions are designed to provide grounding experiences through tactile making and creating. I regularly put together a monthly programme of classes, hosted by guest artists in local venues.
