Are you looking for a way to express yourself creatively? Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced artist wanting to try something new, my hands-on art workshops offer a welcoming space to explore, experiment, and create.
As a mixed media artist, I believe that creativity should be accessible, enjoyable, and stress-free. That’s why I provide all materials and tools needed for each workshop—and you’ll even take them home with you. There’s nothing worse than leaving a workshop full of inspiration, only to have to wait until you buy the right supplies to continue. When you leave, you’ll be ready to keep creating.
Workshops are held at various locations across Hampshire, making it easy to find a session near you. Whether you prefer working with paint, paper, textures, or printmaking, there’s a workshop to suit your creative style.
Junk Journaling – Turning Scraps into Art
Junk journaling is a unique way to combine art, storytelling, and upcycling. Using vintage papers, fabric, old book pages, and hand-painted elements, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind journal filled with personality.
You’ll learn how to:
- Repurpose found materials to create stunning layered pages
- Incorporate mixed media techniques like stamping, collage, and hand lettering
- Make pockets, tags, and interactive journal elements
- Blend colors and textures to create depth and interest
Junk journaling is perfect for anyone who loves collecting and working with paper, and it’s a great way to document memories or create something purely artistic.
Paint Parties – A Relaxed and Fun Way to Create
Paint parties are all about enjoying the process of painting in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. These workshops are ideal for individuals, groups, or special occasions. Whether it’s a birthday, team-building event, or a creative night out, you’ll leave with a finished painting and a sense of accomplishment.
What makes these sessions different?
- No prior experience is needed—each step is guided
- A relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere where creativity flows freely
- A wide range of themes including landscapes, abstract designs, and seasonal artwork
- You take home your painting along with tips and ideas for continuing at home
A paint party is a great way to unwind, socialize, and enjoy making art, no matter your skill level.
Gel Plate Printing – A Unique and Addictive Process
Gel plate printing is an exciting monoprinting technique that allows for endless creative possibilities. It’s perfect for those who love layering, experimenting, and working with textures. Unlike traditional printmaking, there’s no need for a press—just a gel plate, some paint, and a brayer.
In this workshop, you’ll explore:
- How to use a gel plate and brayer to create layered prints
- Stencils, found objects, and textures to add interest
- Botanical printing using real leaves and flowers
- Image transfer techniques to incorporate magazine or laser-printed images
Every print you pull is completely unique, making this an exciting and rewarding process. At the end of the session, you’ll take home your own 5x7-inch branded gel plate and brayer, so you can continue creating at home without the hassle of sourcing materials.
Seasonal and Holiday-Themed Workshops
Throughout the year, I run a variety of seasonal workshops where you can create festive and themed artwork. These sessions are great for both beginners and experienced artists who want to make something special for the season.
Workshops include:
- Autumn Mixed Media – Using warm tones, leaf prints, and layered textures
- Christmas Craft & Card Making – Handmade gifts, festive gel prints, and unique decorations
- Spring Botanical Printing – Working with real flowers and plants to create delicate prints
- Summer Abstracts – Bright, bold color palettes inspired by the season
These workshops are a wonderful way to celebrate the time of year while trying out new techniques and ideas.
