Workshops

I have experience of running experiential art workshops in health and educational settings for all age groups. As a state registered art therapist I have worked in a variety of settings with groups with specific needs.

I am a contributor to workshops with AccessArt https://www.accessart.org.uk/

and I am Arts Award trained (Sliver). I have run workshops regularly for DJCAD and the Holburne Museum and Art Gallery in Bath.
