Maker
Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. From working with clay and glass to exploring textile arts, I’ve always been drawn to hands-on, expressive mediums that allow for play, discovery, and individuality. Silk painting, with its fluidity and vibrant colors, captured my imagination as a way to bring art to life in a truly unique way. I love how it blends control and spontaneity, allowing for both delicate details and happy accidents. Now, I want to share this wonderful craft with others, offering a space where beginners can relax, experiment, and create. Whether you're looking to **try something new** or simply want to **immerse yourself in colour and texture**, I’d love to **welcome you to a workshop** and help you **discover the joy of silk painting!**
