Are you looking for a unique and inspiring activity that combines creativity, nature, and connection? My outdoor sketching workshops and nature art sessions are designed to help people step away from screens, slow down, and rediscover the joy of creativity — no art experience required. These mindful art workshops are all about process, not perfection and they’re perfect for groups and community organisations, celebrations, and workplace wellbeing programmes.

Summer’s in full swing and the next couple of months are looking busy in the best way - a lovely mix of creative work, meeting clients and customers at markets, events and workshops, gentle family adventures, and a few moments just for me!

This year I’ve been running a new workshop - “Introduction to Green Sketching” - and I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed spending time helping people to reconnect with their creativity and the natural world around us.

Green Sketching is a simple, pressure-free way to slow down, connect with nature, and rediscover your creativity. You don’t need to have any artistic skills, or be a nature buff able to recite the names of birds and plants. Here’s why I think you should give one of my workshops a try…

I'm really pleased to be able to announce that earlier this year I applied to Create Berwick for funding to support the development of some new workshops and I was awarded a grant! With thanks to Create Berwick's funders - the North East Combined Authority and Northumberland County Council.

My creative practice is fuelled by my love of the natural world, with much of my self-led illustration and design inspired by nature-based subjects. I really wanted to be able to support others to explore their creativity and help them to reconnect with nature to improve their wellbeing.

Thanks to this funding, I'm now a certified 'Green Sketching Ambassador' and I thought I'd just share a little about what exactly Green Sketching is and why everyone should give it a try.
