I am a visual artist and arts educator working with colour, textiles, minerals, clay, seeds, flowers and pigments that I carefully gather from plants around me and nearby.
I specialise in sustainable wellbeing workshops and creative mindful sessions for community groups, CPD and staff training for small companies and institutions.
I have been working with natural dyes since 2019 and have an extensive experience planning and delivering creative and engaging sustainable workshops for people of all ages and many backgrounds.
I see these experiences as tools for learning but also for grounding and reflection that aim to connect with ourselves and with others in a supportive, non judgemental safe space. Interested in mental health and wellbeing, I nurture environments where people can reach a deeper level of understanding of their feelings and emotions, allowing time for play and exploration with a focus on the process of making and collective learning.

I've done a few workshops with Renata such as inkmaking, bundle dying and embroidery - they've all been magical journeys. Her passion is infectious and it's a real joy to be part of the organic and experimental classes filled with lots of geeky, witchy playfulness. Renata's knowledge of and relationship with these materials and processes are vast, and I specifically appreciate her resourcefulness with a focus on sustainability and wellbeing. I always feel very at ease and inspired. She brings the wonder of a child, with the care, warmth and experience of a granny!
