Community Engagement & Workshops

Here are a selection of photos from community projects and events I've been involved with. If you're interested in working with me please get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.

2025

Block printing workshop with East Mercia Rivers Trust & East Anglian Water

During this drop in workshop everyone learned to make their own stamps and how to print with them. Each person created their very own beautiful river themed imagery onto re-usable cotton bags.

The Illustrating Boston News project

A Story Tellers initiative funded by East Lindsay District Council. During three drop-in community workshops, held in the Boston Guildhall, people shared their stories and experiences through conversations and by 'Doodling what they like to do in Boston'. Together we created three long artworks, an illustrated celebration of Boston. Combining the community illustrations with my own, I then created a big hand-drawn colouring in, double page spread in the Illustrating Boston News broadsheet, to be published Spring 2026.
