Workshops
Dating back to running covert jewellery making workshops during my lunch break (!) still nothing brings me greater joy than sharing my love of making.
I have worked with many different makers over the years providing tuition to small groups at home in my craft room, working with local craft studios and taking part in collaborative events with fellow bloggers at iconic venues such as Liberty of London.
All my workshops are seasonally inspired, often using materials I have grown or dyed myself. They are all based on the unique tutorials I share on my blog which gives me the flexibility to tailor each event to the participants. Each workshop is designed to ignite a creative soul regardless of experience and background.
If you would like an event for a group of friends, hen party or something more corporate (I have eight years experience as Executive Assistant in London so am very comfortable in a formal setting) , please contact me to find out more.
