I offer workshop journeys as sacred spaces that centre creativity

as an intentional practice of soul mending & belonging.

I have been teaching traditional craft and ancestral skills for over 25 years. My workshops come highly recommended and are affiliated with Northern Drum, the School of Movement Medicine and Carolyn Hillyer at Seventh Wave Music.

 I have been hide tanning since my teenage years, working with the very best of teachers & elders to gain an international reputation of excellence in ceremonial craft.

Aswell as Drum Making, I also hold workshops in embroidery, weaving, roadkill handling, natural tanning, rattle, fan and shield making, wild food, the art of altars, creative writing & more.

I bring a warm and nourishing blend of intuition, experience, empathy and good humour into well prepared, practical workshop space;

immersed in art, altars, installations and beautiful surroundings. I work with individuals of all genders & ages; couples, families, groups large and small. My workshops are trauma informed, non-dogmatic, safe spaces, accessible to all.

Be welcome. Come as you are; no status or experience needed. 

I offer a limited number of concessionary places to keep these crafts accessible and available.

Concessionary places are by application and are prioritised to those from minority ethnic backgrounds, young people & other marginalised groups. Be in touch with me directly if this would be a support for you. 

I am committed to active decolonisation and inclusivity in all aspects of my work.

It is important that through this work, I keep giving back to, and neither appropriating nor taking from my own lineage

or the many Indigenous peoples who have worked to keep their drum cultures, songs and teachings alive through centuries of genocide.

10% of all profits go to charities supporting the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and those seeking asylum in the UK.

I've set up a sponsorship fund for those that wish to and are able to donate to support those with less privilege to come to my workshops. This goes towards the cost of materials. Contact me if you'd like to contribute.

We are always coming home.

Giving thanks for all the beauty of all the beautiful people shared through these crafts.

Honouring our origins.
