Workshops

Reconnect

A popular series of stand alone workshops which seek to re-connect with the natural world through art techniques that rest lightly with nature. Time to become present to everyday wonders that surround us, be mindful and tend your creative soul. No experience needed. These run @Artpocket studios, Norwich.

What can I bring to you?

As a DBS checked, experienced tutor I can offer bespoke and personalised workshops for your organisation or venue focusing on creative process and wellbeing. Below are ones I currently offer which come with a commitment to use equipment and materials that are reused, recycled, secondhand or responsibly foraged from nature itself, as far as possible. These workshops can stand alone or be combined to last from a couple of hours to a whole day. Mindfulness exercises and carefully curated music can also be incorporated. Please get in touch for more details or to discuss your specific requirements.
