I believe everyone regardless of their background should be able to access creative workshops. This is why the workshops I facilitate are free. I supply all materials for the community, and together we create colourful montages. I love communal creative energy, and also encourage people to bring their own work in progress, which can be anything from knitting and crochet to poetry.

I create themes which range from seasonal card and decoration making to painting on dried lotus leaves which is very popular.

Feedback from the creative community is vital. Knowing what they enjoy making and what they would like to try helps me shape these sessions. I find the more unusual materials that I incorporate in my own practice such as the dried lotus leaves and joss paper are extremely popular. Something they have not tried before.

My workshops meet one Saturday a month, 1–4 p.m. I stay flexible with themes and focus on play and experimentation, so people don’t feel pressured to make a masterpiece — yet they’re often surprised by what they create.

Communal creative energy is at the heart of my workshops, and something we all relish.

I started running these workshops in September 2025 and they will continue for the rest of 2026.
