Workshops & Creative Facilitation
I facilitate creative workshops, co-design projects, events, and talks for adults, children, families, and mixed age groups across Scotland, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee. My workshops are playful, accessible, beginner friendly, and designed to encourage curiosity, experimentation, and creativity.
Drawing from my background in illustration and stage design, I create hands-on sessions that combine storytelling, making, drawing, paper techniques, and collaborative creativity. I enjoy creating welcoming environments where people can explore ideas freely, regardless of previous experience.
Recent workshops include paper pop-up workshops facilitated at the Glasgow Mitchell Library.
paper Pop-Up Workshop
A playful hands-on workshop introducing simple pop-up paper techniques that transform flat drawings into three-dimensional scenes.
A creative hands-on workshop introducing playful pop-up paper techniques for participants of all ages and experience levels.
In this session, participants learn simple folding and cutting methods to transform drawings into interactive three-dimensional scenes. The workshop combines illustration, storytelling, and paper engineering through demonstrations, creative prompts, and guided making.
Workshops can be adapted for children, adults, families, schools, libraries, galleries, and community events. Sessions are beginner friendly while still offering space for experimentation and creativity for more experienced participants.
All materials are provided, including paper resources, collage materials, templates, and drawing tools.
Recent workshops have been facilitated at the Glasgow Mitchell Library.

Facilitation Approach
My workshops are designed to be supportive, engaging, and flexible for different age groups and experience levels. I aim to create welcoming creative environments where participants feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and exploring new ways of making and thinking creatively.
As a Glasgow based illustrator and workshop facilitator, I especially enjoy working within local communities across Glasgow and wider Scotland, creating accessible and playful creative experiences for families, young people, and adults.
I particularly enjoy workshops that combine:
Illustration and storytelling
Paper craft and tactile making
Playfulness and experimentation
Collaborative learning
Accessible creative approaches
Hands-on visual thinking
I facilitate creative workshops across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and wider Scotland.

About me
I’m a Glasgow based illustrator, designer, and multidisciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in curiosity and storytelling. My work blends colour, texture, and playfulness.
Before becoming an illustrator, I trained in stage design, where they developed an interest in three-dimensional making and building visual worlds. An influence that continues throughout my illustration and workshop practice today.
