Creative workshops with community groups and organisations.

I facilitate creative workshops such as earth pigment making with community groups and organisations. I have worked with organisations such as Woodlands Community Gardens, The Hunterian Museum, Refugee Festival Scotland, SCORE Scotland’s Women’s Group and Edinburgh Art Festival, and the Swedenborg Society in London.

With the earth pigment workshops we use locally found rocks and earth to create water-based paints, pastels and watercolours, and create artwork with the materials.
