Leading community garden Forest School sessions at Nature Builders, Forest Gate. This is part of my Forest School Leader training.

Leading a workshop with a group of elders on art-making when out and about. In collaboration with Meet Me at the Albany and Entelechy Arts.

During our Art Babies exhibition ‘feelings are real’ at the Barbican Library, we had an ‘add yourself to the exhibition’ section where people could explore the creatures which could represent feelings, and personal headlines that they wanted to share with the world.

Zine queen Artizine / Ioana and I ran a LGBTQ+ history month walk in Newham, learning about local queer history. We then ran a plaque-making workshop in Stratford library.

I have run walks and workshops with Wren Wildlife and Conservation Group. One was an art ramble around Wanstead Park. The second was a wildflower and bee workshop where I gave prompts based on what we were learning about. The third was a day focused on skylark conservation on Wanstead Flats.

An Art Babies community mural at Stanley Road Store, during Brighton Open Studios in 2023.

I’ve run workshops with She.Her.They.Them, which were invitations for people to express themselves and connect to others through gentle and playful prompts.

Artists in residence at the Good Life Festival on the Hawarden Estate, North Wales. We ran a stick-painting workshop and painted portraits of humans and creatures.
