  • Enjoy a relaxed, judgement-free space to create and reflect.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more connected to your creativity, refreshed and inspired to continue your own creative practice in your spare time.

Daisy Embury


Daisy is an artist, oil painter, and holistic creative therapist.

She has been oil painting since she was 12, with her subject matter growing alongside her curiosities. Prior to oil painting, she expressed herself through a range of different creative modalities, including dance, singing, other paint mediums, poetry, and collecting crystals.
Alongside her own creative practice, studying Fine Art at university, and her role as Personalisation Artist & Expert for Louis Vuitton, Melbourne, Daisy has always been interested in creativity as a tool for healing. During her degree, she delved into short studies in Mindfulness-Based Art, worked in a yoga studio, and was influenced by Alain de Botton’s Art as Therapy. She also spent a few years in New Zealand, working within rehabilitation, alongside prisoners, facilitating, and with children, all of which she was able to use creativity as a tool to better wellbeing and dive inwards.
As a graduate of Holistic Creative Therapy, Daisy’s work is guided by the values of love, creativity, and curiosity, and rooted in a deep belief in creativity as a gentle tool for self-connection and healing. Daisy offers a calm, supportive environment where participants are invited to explore creative expression at their own pace.

New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery.
After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978.
Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
