FINDING WINGS 2026
Happy 2026!Over the past few years I have been unwell, which meant stepping back from teaching and sharing my work. I’m now gradually working again — creating, teaching, and building new projects — and it feels good to be back in action.
Alongside this return, I’ve launched this new website and am offering new creative workshops starting this January, with more to follow over the year ahead.
New Creative Workshops — January 2026
>Both courses are designed to be welcoming and supportive, combining skill learning, experimentation and creative freedom. These also may become available online so let me know if you are interested in that.
