Bloom Together | Sketchbook Lab
A few years ago I retrained as a life coach, and joined with two coaching colleagues to form Earth & Village Collective to run day retreats (with my role around delivering a creative element). I've always loved painting and found this great way for people to connect with their creativity by communal painting (courtesy of A.Creative.Pause).
Since then, I have delivered these joyful sessions to friends and family, to art clubs and at retreats. I now also run Sketchbook Lab where like-minded people enjoy connecting in a creative environment on a weekly basis.

Bloom Together Events, Parties and Retreats

Bring Bloom Together to your event
Relaxed, hands-on art workshops for parties, workplaces and community groups. I bring the materials and the guidance, and you bring the people. No experience needed.
Sketchbook Lab

Experiment!
Welcome to a completely different kind of art experience. Sketchbook Lab is a relaxed, space designed for adults who want to explore their internal creativity without the pressure of a traditional art class. No talent or experience required. All materials provided.
It's all about the experimenting (hence "Lab" in the title!), trying a range of materials, trying out different techniques and just enjoying the process rather than trying to paint a perfect picture!
Coaching Creatively

A space to think, not to be told what to do
One-to-one creative coaching for when you're facing a change, feeling stuck, or wondering what you want more of.
Sessions are unhurried and completely confidential. You don't need to arrive with a plan, or think of yourself as creative.
