Keep Swimming

Coral Reef embroidery inspired by the impact of increasing ocean temperatures on our oceans.

Dive into something a little magical at the Carry on Crafting Festival 2026 with this playful and immersive 3D embroidery workshop.

You’ll move beyond flat stitching and discover the joy of raised embroidery – a captivating technique that builds texture, depth and movement into your work. Guided step by step, you’ll stitch a vibrant coral reef scene featuring a floating jellyfish, coral and swaying sea plants, brought to life with an exciting range of dimensional stitches.

Your design is created inside an embroidery hoop that becomes part of the finished piece, framing your work and transforming it into a striking, ready-to-display textile artwork!

Perfect for curious beginners and experienced stitchers the chance to relax, learn new skills, play and leave with something truly special.

Art of Calm: Neurographic Doodling

As a dedicated doodler, I have developed a 2-hour workshop where I share my experience of neurographic doodling - an innovative approach to mindfulness and creativity.

In this immersive workshop you will be encouraged to slow down and allow yourself to be guided through a simple 8-step process. You'll make and transform spontaneous lines and shapes into beautiful, abstract artworks and discover the meditative power of neurographic art.

No art experience or skills required - just an open mind and a willingness to let your creativity flow to achieve relaxation and a sense of calm.

I begin each session with a short breathing exercise to help you relax and focus. Please note, I am not an art therapist and this is not an art therapy session.
