Wild & Crafted
Discover Your Creative Journey with Us
Meaningful creative learning for everyone, rooted in mindfulness and awe. We explore nature, the transformative rhythm of the seasons, and the joy of making with our hands.
Hi there!
My practice is inspired by the changing seasons and rhythms of nature in the UK, combining accessible printmaking techniques like Gelli Plate, Cyanotype, and Drypoint with hand embroidery to explore texture, colour, and pattern. With training in Occupational Therapy, Art for Wellbeing, Counselling and Special Educational Needs education, I design inclusive workshops that adapt to all abilities, helping participants build confidence and discover the joy of making. For me, creativity is not about technical skill but about wellbeing—slowing down, connecting with nature, and finding resilience through the simple, restorative act of creating with our hands.
I work with families, community groups, charities, businesses and creative people to provide workshops that boost health and wellbeing, foster a deeper connection to the world around us, bring joy and build closer and more successful communities. I specialise in Gelli plate printing, collage and painted embroidery. Although I run regular classes at Boom Studios in Bangor, I have also worked with Sostrene Greene, Ards & North Down Borough Council, the Simon Community and the King's Trust.
