and here is my studio where I make and teach Art.”

The Braggy bit!!!!

Just so you can be confident I know what I am talking about…………

I have always scored the highest possible qualifications in Art, from A’s, to A*s and 1st class BA Hons in GraphicsArt and Design. I have always been dedicated to being the best I can be.

I have worked as an animator, graphic designer, video content creator and photographer in industry for over 20 years.

As a mum of two, working in that industry was not conducive to having a balanced life. That’s when I set up  ‘Routine for Kids’, that encouraged autonomy in children’s own routine and helped many families find some harmony, with children that were determined to do it their own way.

My new venture is my ceramics where I am able to express myself and ideas through 3d form as well as graphically.

The Art school has come from years of experience and me wanting to share my knowledge with children and adults.

I specialise in working with the SEND community and have first hand experience, as my daughter is AUTISTIC/ADHD. I know how to facilitate creative ideas without stemming the flow.

There is nothing better than coming in with an idea and the class leading you down a completely different path!

I really do believe that children are the most creative, as Picasso said “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”

Children are bountiful when it comes to creative ideas and I very much see my job as facilitator. Bringing those ideas to life and to help them find their creative language.

Specialising in working with SEN

The lessons are small, which keeps the over all stimulus down. This prevents overwhelm and allows me to achieve child lead projects.

The environment matters

Children and adults a like also get to enjoy our beautiful garden. They can burn off energy or relax in nature.
