Your creative escape awaits
Welcome to Creative Escape, where the joy of craftsmanship meets the therapeutic power of creativity. Discover my unique approach to art, born from a desire to uplift and inspire, and find out what makes my workshops and bespoke pieces truly special.
The spark behind creative escape
The name "Creative Escape" emerged during my time as a Diversional Therapist in a local hospice. I witnessed firsthand how creativity could lift spirits and ease symptoms, even during life's most challenging moments. This profound realisation fuelled my passion: to bring the transformative power of art to everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance. Here, creativity isn't just a hobby; it's a therapeutic journey, offering a genuine escape and fostering well-being.
More than just crafts
What sets Creative Escape apart is my dedication to accessibility and variety. I offer a wide range of craft subjects, from intricate ceramics and robust willow work to delicate textiles and dynamic wire sculptures. I’m not just based in Somerset; I can bring the creative experience directly to you. Whether it's a local venue or your group's own space, I travel across the region to facilitate engaging workshops, making creativity convenient and inclusive.
Crafting connections, building confidence
I love teaching anyone eager to embrace their creative side, especially those facing challenges. My experience helps individuals discover their artistic potential, no matter their circumstances – be it sight impairment, serious illness, or simply a need for a creative outlet. My goal is for every participant to leave with a positive, enjoyable memory and a cherished piece of their own making. It's about empowering choices, providing a rich palette of colours, and fostering a truly transformative experience.
