Workshops
I have been facilitating creative workshops and courses for over a decade. I am an Arts Award advisor with Trinity College, London primarily working with School Excluded and Home Educated children in rural Somerset to build self-confidence through gaining qualifications in the Arts.
I have worked for various Art Organisations as a freelance workshop facilitator. In 2020, I co-founded and became Creative Director of HEARTHSTONE Ways CIC designing learning programmes and projects, fundraising and leading workshops in Creative Wellbeing and Self Development.
I believe creativity can be a powerful force for aiding the transformation and healing of people and communities. I am constantly witnessing its positive impact on those who often feel disenfranchised from society and the main stream education system.
