News & Events

I have some exciting Art and Writing events planned for 2026  – see below. You can find out more about my workshops more generally on The Workshops and Mentoring page – and do sign up to my quarterly newsletter at the bottom of this page to be kept updated. Here are some Spring/Summer highlights:

April & June 2026: Wild Creative Workshops at The Wilde Story near Sherborne

Come and join me for a day on the beautiful lavender farm at the Wilde Story and enjoy the opportunity to reconnect with your innate creativity, nature – and yourself. 

Together, we will explore a mindful, playful and relaxed approach to creativity, allowing your natural, inner artist to emerge and flourish through words, colourful marks or both!

Throughout the day, I will guide you through a series of informal exercises, enabling and encouraging you to tune into your individual voice. There is no “right” or “wrong” way of responding nor will there be any pressure to share your work with others, if you don’t wish to.

At the end of the day, you will take home your own, unique, artwork as a reminder of all you experienced at The Wilde Story. 

What’s included:

Morning coffee and a delicious lunch from the Wilde Story Cafe 

Art materials

Inspiration & guidance
