WORKSHOPS
I offer a range of workshops that explore sustainable, tactile processes through clay, textiles, and natural materials. My workshops are rooted in hands-on making, material sensitivity, and ecological awareness – whether we're harvesting native clay, smoke-firing, natural dyeing, or learning about wild foraged pigments.
Alongside scheduled in-person and online workshops, I am also available for bespoke bookings. This could include delivering a tailored session for your organisation, community group or school, or offering 1-to-1 tuition and mentoring around specific materials, sustainable processes, or creative development. I work with all ages and abilities, and prioritise accessibility, care, and inclusivity in all my sessions.
I’m currently developing a series of accessible online workshops all about sourcing, processing, and using native clay. These will include video tutorials, guides, and creative exercises designed for artists, educators, and anyone curious about working with natural materials in sustainable ways.

CLAY AND CLOTH – NATURAL DYE & QUILTING WORKSHOP
August 2025
SOLD OUT
This one-day workshop explored the relationship between place, pigment, and textile through natural dyeing and quilt-making. Participants used foraged materials and handmade print binders to dye fabric, then stitched layered textile compositions inspired by geological forms and memory mapping. Rooted in slowness and sustainability, the day offered time for experimentation, handwork, and reflection on care, repair, and repetition as a practice.

SENSING SCULPTURE – NON-HUMAN SCULPTURE
Hauser & Wirth Somerset – Summer Open Art School
SOLD OUT
Bruton, Somerset
In response to Phyllida Barlow: unscripted, this immersive full-day workshop invited participants to explore the coastline through touch, collection, and collaborative making. Working with native clay and gathered natural materials, we built sculptures that considered non-human collaboration and reciprocal relationships with place. Drawing on ecological practice and slow observation, the workshop combined walking, making, and thinking as one.
