"For me, art isn’t just about painting or making something beautiful — it’s about helping children see the world differently."

I offer creative nature-inspired art classes for children and adults, designed to nurture curiosity, confidence and creativity through hands-on making. Sessions include activities such as botanical watercolour painting using pigments made from foraged flowers and plants, clay modelling with natural clay, sketching, printmaking and seasonal nature crafts. Every class is different, encouraging children to explore, experiment and connect with the natural world through art. I offer weekly group classes, private family sessions, workshops for homeschool and worldschool groups, birthday parties, and bespoke creative experiences for schools, retreats and special events. All materials are provided, and sessions can be adapted to suit different ages and abilities. I love creating classes where children can get messy, ask questions, experiment and discover that creativity can be found everywhere. I want them to leave feeling inspired, proud of themselves, more connected to the natural world, and excited to keep making long after the class has finished.
