Workshops
Throughout my creative career I have dabbled in many different disciplines including mould-making, casting, painting, print-making, ceramics and woodwork which is reflected in the diverse range of artworks and products I make.
I have a massive passion for helping others and sharing my skills so I decided to begin running an ongoing series of fun and therapeutic workshops focussing on Jesmonite - an eco-friendly alternative to resin I use regularly to make many of my own products.
Jesmonite is a 2-part casting material that you can mix with coloured pigments to make bright, colourful homewares in lots of different finishes.
I run workshops teaching you about the different types of Jesmonite and their various uses, and how to use it to create your very own homewares and decorative objectives in a vast array of different finishes.
Curating
I run a side project called Occasional Pop Ups organising the likes of pop up shops and exhibitions occasionally as and when suits me (!) instead of regularly. I have a history of organising exhibitions, workshops, talks and events as part of artist-led projects including Visual Artist Unit C.I.C. (2014-2018) and Artists' Tuck Shop (2019-2024)
I recently wrote a blog post covering my journey since first graduating from art school in 2013 which details further some of the curatorial projects I have done:
