Welcome to Wild & Crafted!

​​

It is my joy to see people grow in wellbeing through creativity and community.

 

With training in Art & Design, Occupational Therapy, Art for Wellbeing, Counselling and Special Educational Needs education, I design inclusive creative gatherings 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 and happiness—slowing down, joining a creative community, connecting with nature, learning something new and growing in confidence.  I specialise in community arts work, using art as a tool for social change, community building, boosting wellbeing, alleviating loneliness and improving mental health.​

​​

I have  worked with Sostrene Greene, Ards & North Down Borough Council, the Simon Community, Linking Generations NI, Bloomfield Collegiate, Hawthorne House Care Home, Millisle Health and Wellbeing Group, Millisle Craft Group, The King's Trust, Beat Carnival, Cockle Row Cottages, Home Education Northern Ireland and Castle Espie.

​​

I have a particular interest in working with community groups, charities, workplaces, parties and events as well as running Open Art and Circle of Seasons Art & Craft Collective at Boom Studios, Bangor.
