As a workshop facilitator, I offer engaging and inclusive sessions for diverse audiences across schools, libraries, festivals, bookshops, and art centers. My workshops cater to various age groups and interests, including craft activities, drawing, painting and storytelling workshops for children and adults.

With training in facilitation, including Train the Trainer delivered by Sharon Devlin (Connections Arts Centre) and Language Explorers training from Mother Tongues, I strive to make all participants feel welcomed and valued.

Past workshops include:

  • The Ark

  • Mother Tongues

  • Irish Architecture Foundation (OHJ)

  • Garter Lane Arts Centre

  • Irish Girl Guides

  • Scoil San Carlo Junior School

  • St Joseph's National School

  • DLR Arts office

  • South Dublin County Council (SDCC)

Whether you're looking for a one-off workshop or a series of sessions, I'm committed to tailoring each experience to meet the unique needs of your group or organization.

  • It was amazing!! The crossover from all forms of art, physical painting, the expression of feelings and vocals enhanced my experience throughout the night. The group activity created a calm, inclusive and welcoming environment. I personally would recommend this to many, due to the variety of activities and inclusivity for all people with all sorts of adjustments and arrangements. For instance, many people were allowed to leave during the activities if they were overwhelmed, uncomfortable or just didn’t enjoy the activity. Thank you for visiting us.

  • All in all, it was an eye-opening experience that would be a brilliant workshop for anyone to do, young or old.

  • As the class teacher, I now feel more confident in tackling hands-on art lessons within the classroom setting. The enjoyment and engagement from each child was clearly evident. The process over product mentality is far more beneficial and allows each child to express themselves in whatever way they want to. This is a great way to develop their imagination and create a child lead, creative learning environment.
