Doll Making Workshops
Join me in a transformative doll making workshop designed for individuals affected by personal changes, physical or emotional transformation, survivors of abuse, or those experiencing bereavement due to the loss of a loved one, unemployment, or a relationship ending. These workshops will be grouped appropriately, for anyone feeling unravelled in life. Each workshop aims to provide a safe and healing space for participants to explore and express their emotions through the art of doll making.
The workshop will commence with a brief talk, allowing participants to understand the significance and history of dolls. We will delve into how dolls have evolved and adapted across different cultures and time periods. This exploration will help us appreciate the symbolic power that dolls hold, enabling us to use them as tools for personal introspection and healing.
Next, participants will have the opportunity to create their own doll, which will serve as a representation of themselves or a loved one. I will guide the process, emphasising the importance of infusing our dolls with love and acceptance. As we craft these personalised dolls, we will symbolically pour our emotions and experiences into them, driving self-reflection and healing.
Throughout the workshop, I will also introduce the concept of art therapy and provide insight into my qualifications and experience in this field. By understanding the therapeutic benefits of art and creativity, participants will feel empowered to explore their emotions in a safe and supported environment.
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be encouraged to share and discuss their unique creations. This collaborative sharing session will foster an atmosphere of empathy, understanding, and connection, where individuals can openly express their emotions and experiences.
By the end of this doll making workshop, participants will not only have a tangible representation of their journey but also a deeper understanding of themselves and the healing power of art. Join me as we embark on this transformative journey of self-discovery and healing through the creation of meaningful and personal dolls.
Pirate Well-being Workshops
I have a written a pirate trilogy, and each book is a lovely and heart warming story in it's own right.
​
With my Art Therapy training, I am able to engage all primary school aged children and ask the right
questions at the right time to get children thinking about how the stories relate to their own lives.
Using pirates means that my stories are timeless and can be applied to numerous scenarios.
​
During my 50 minute sessions, groups of up to 10 children will be read a pirate book, before having the opportunity to act out the story.
Each session will end with some art making which will help the
children to fully digest what they have learnt, and will serve as
a reminder of the sessions.
​
Week 1:
The Pirates Underpants read, act,
and discuss.
Week 2:
Story recap, Life after lockdown.
Week 3:

and discuss.
Week 4:

Week 5:

​
Each week the children will have an opportunity to relate the story to their own personal journeys,
discuss feelings, as well as art making relevant to the story and their experiences.
Together we will go on an amazing journey of
self discovery.
