Collaboration is key

Cultural Health and Wellbeing Framework

My own tools for reflection and project initiation are the starting point for this half day practitioner workshop.  Understanding the boundaries of working as an artist in creative health and how great communication is key to any project that involves people.

Collaborative Artist including Health and Wellbeing

Whether you are an organisation that wants to bring stitch to your community groups or an artist that wants to collaborate on a specific project I can help.

Image shows work with community groups and the central icon an ongoing collaboration with Tereza Buskova "Hidden Mothers".  I can work remotely with participants with live zooms providing access for those that cannot get to a setting.

Connect More

I can be part of your latest event, set up in train stations and conference centres, I can also create a bespoke project with you. See the main Connect More page for more details.

 

Community Building

From 2020 to 2025 I ran a CIC called Woolly Mammoth Stitch Works with Dr Suzanne Carter.  The aim was to increase community cohesion, create communities of interest and bring high quality projects to spaces where people lived.  Large in scale (often with hundreds of participants) the resulting artworks are displayed in community and cultural spaces.

Working as community engager and artist together we were able to ensure that every stitch counted. This continues to be part of my practice but on a smaller scale with community groups.  Take a look at some of the projects here Past Projects – Woolly Mammoth Stitch Works CIC
