WorkshopsJoyful, hands-on making, designed for connection, confidence and community
I design and lead co-designed murals and creative workshops for teams, organisations and community events across London and the UK, in offices, conference venues, community spaces and outdoors.
Every session is artist-led, open to all abilities and shaped around your theme. The difference is what you end up with: a professionally designed artwork, made by your team or community.
What I offerThree ways to work together
Co-designed Murals
A collaborative artwork for away days, team building, staff wellbeing, company values, festivals and public engagement.
Half or full day
Drop-in Mural Activation
A live artwork that people add to throughout your event: CSR programmes, festivals, family days, launches and cultural celebrations.
Flexible timing
Creative Team Workshops
Tailored sessions in block printing, textiles, pattern design, creative wellbeing, cultural celebration and storytelling through art.
1–3 hours
Included every time: artist-led facilitation, all materials and tools, a theme tailored to your organisation, access for all abilities, and guidance on the finished artwork.
Workshop packagesChoose a package, then a format
Each package can run as a closed group (away days, wellbeing sessions, staff networks, culture events) or an open drop-in (public events, CSR days, festivals, launches). 1–3 hours, minimum 10 participants.
Murals & Artworks
Everyone contributes to a shared mural, panel or installation through colour, pattern, mark-making and storytelling prompts. No experience needed.
Pattern, Print & Textile
Block printing on paper or fabric, textile stories about cloth, memory and heritage (ideal for heritage months and International Women’s Day), and collagraphy and mixed-media print.
Paper, Light & Colour
Faux stained glass panels, origami, and paper flowers and vases, made as individual pieces or one shared display.
