Work of Joy Workshop Experience
I like to think of my workshops as ‘creative expeditions’. A chance to step away from the everyday, try something different, and see where it takes you.
Across a range of sessions-from short, immersive experiences to full-day workshops-you’ll explore my signature collage technique using acrylic paint, Posca pens, and tissue paper. A process that’s simple to begin, yet full of possibility.
No experience needed. No pressure to get it “right.” Just a willingness to start.
These workshops are for both artists and non-artists who want to reconnect with their creativity, loosen up, and enjoy the satisfaction of making something from nothing.
Visit me at The Art Room
Workshops are mostly held at The Art Room in the Royal Priors, Leamington Spa. You’ll find a vibrant hub of artists working in a collaborative and creative environment. It’s open for you to visit and view the artists at work.
You’ll find me there most days, but please contact me first to make sure I’m there – 07918 881602.

Upcoming Workshops:
Exploratory Mixed Media 3 hour workshop
Step away from the noise and into colour, creativity, and pure presence.
In this uplifting 3-hour workshop, you’ll be guided through my signature collage technique using tissue paper, Posca pens, and acrylic paint. This is a playful, intuitive process designed to help you loosen up, let go of perfection, and rediscover the joy of creating.
You don’t need any experience—just a willingness to explore.
You’ll be gently guided as you layer colour, texture, and mark-making to create a vibrant, expressive piece that captures a moment, a feeling… a little piece of you.
This is not about getting it “right.”
It’s about enjoying the process, surprising yourself, and leaving with something you didn’t know you could create.
What you’ll experience:
- A simple but powerful technique you can return to again and again
- The freedom of working intuitively, without pressure
- A sense of calm, play, and creative flow
- Connection—with yourself, the materials, and others in the room
You’ll leave with:
- Your own finished artwork
- A renewed sense of creative confidence
- A joyful memory captured in colour
Moments in Colour
A one-day creative experience
This one-day creative experience is designed to help you slow down, notice more, and capture a moment of your life in colour.
• We’ll begin together in the studio – a warm welcome, and chat about the planned activities.
• Then we’ll head out on a short, ‘art walk’ – noticing the small details that often pass us by. Light, colour, textures, fleeting moments. You’ll be guided to find a moment that feels like you want to keep. It might be as small as a leaf, or as large as a street-scene.
• Back in the studio, you’ll translate that moment into a expressive piece using vibrant colour – capturing not just what you saw, but also how it felt.
• We’ll finish by sharing and reflecting on what you noticed, how it translated into your piece and what surprised you.
This is for you if you:
• Feel too busy and want to slow down and be more ‘present’ in your life
• Crave a creative outlet but don’t know where to start
• Want to reconnect with joy, presence, and play
• Love the idea of capturing meaningful moments in a different way
