Maker's bio

I’m a British Army Veteran (Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps). Unfortunately after 22 years of service, I was medically discharged in 2018 due to PTSD. The Military’s Mental Health treatment plan for me included EMDR, CBT and medication. However, I completed Help for Heroes recovery courses, during which, one of the activities really stood out for me and helped my mental health more than anything: I’ve never been creative or had the imagination or patience for anything arty farty! But I was encouraged to try the ‘Engraving on Metal Workshop’. I’m so glad that I took part as I really enjoyed it. Mental health wise, I found it very helpful and I’ve carried on engraving on metal as a hobby ever since. I would like you to experience this “Feel Good Activity” which is easy to learn and fun. I have now taken a big step forward to set up and run some workshops of my own. I hope to see you at one.
