Workshops

Soft Pastels with London Drawing Group

Saturday 7 February 2026


200+ people tuned in live to my Soft Pastels class with LDG!


We went through different ways of working with pastels including methods, tools and paper types with quick fire exercises drawing from some of my favourite artists to get out of our heads and into experimenting.


The class recording is available until 21 Feb for those that booked and could not attend live or who did attend and would like to revisit the exercises and references I shared.


Really enjoyed teaching in this way and I would love to do it again soon :)

Clay Totems for Bàrd Books

Tuesday 27 January 2026


The first in a series of monthly workshops held at my local indie bookshop, Bàrd Books. Pleased to share that we sold out, with 25 bookings! 


The workshop was a beginner friendly involving hand-building with airdry clay, with all materials provided. I brought reference books from my studio and examples I have made to inspire attendees.


A highlight post of the session can be viewed on Instagram here.


My next workshop will be on Tuesday 17th February, and will be an anti-Valentines comic session! Book on Eventbrite.


Clay Totems for RIOT SOUP x The Other Art Fair

Sunday 12 October 2025


I was invited by the RIOT SOUP team to lead another clay workshop at The Other Art Fair at the Truman Brewery, London. It followed a similar premise to the Twilight Lates session with references available for inspiration and ideas. 


The workshop was a beginner friendly involving hand-building with airdry clay, with all materials provided. Participant ages ranged from 8-50+.

Clay Totems for Twilight Lates x Dazed

Thursday 4 September 2025


The session involved making small clay sculptures that represent our own personal symbols and motifs, inspired by a pendant that my Nan gifted me when I was born which I wear every day. I like to think that it protects me and keeps me connected to her, and I encouraged participants to think of their own similar associations. I also shared examples I’ve made over the years and some of my favourite studio books, including Elizabeth Catlett and Belkis Ayon.


The workshop was a beginner friendly involving hand-building with airdry clay, with all materials provided. I had around 24 participants for this session which was an incredible turnout!


The evening was curated by Aarony Bailey in collaboration with Dazed for our group show 'Subvert Your Gaze to Meet Mine' at Twilight Contemporary.

Between the Lines | Creative Workshop & Open Mic

Wednesday 9 April 2025


Lalah and I led a blended visual art and poetry workshop, encouraging creative connection, joy and self-expression at Doña.


I guided the group through a series of drawing exercises to relax into the space and get to know each other. Lalah provided poetry prompts to think about our personal interpretations of 'paradise', taking inspiration from Roger Robinson's 'A Portable Paradise' and the book 'Home is Not a Place'. The group combined elements from both to create acrostic poems and shared them with each other.


This was followed by a supportive Open Mic, where attendees could share work from the session or their own personal work. We ended with a powerful, honest and funny set from Tasneim Zyada.


A highlight reel of the event is available on Instagram.

Creative play

Wednesday 16 August 2023


Taking inspiration from notes that have steered my path and process in the last few years, I led a small group of women through a series of drawing activities before moving on to building small handheld sculptures.

My aim was to build a space for free exploration and creative play, to nurture and nourish community. I also provided homemade vegan snacks for the group.
