I am passionate about inspiring children and helping them to embrace the Creative Arts, Mindfulness & Mindset.

I have created the Dot Kids ethos to encourage creative confidence, freedom & experimentation, alongside contextual awareness & discussion, enabling self-expression and empathy - unique to many other children's art classes.
During the sessions we consider the emotions that art evokes and use self-expression in our own creativity.

)
Together we discover the life & art of inspirational artists, using their stories and art as an influence for our own creativity.
We learn that there is no such thing as a creative mistake, everything we create is an experiment, a joy, a development.

Most Dot Kids workshops are drop-off sessions, so you can relax whilst your child gets creative.
Myself and all Dot Kids Workshop Leaders are fully DBS checked and we all hold Enhanced Certificates,

Together we gain a passion for the creative arts, enhancing our well-being. We develop a deeper curiosity for meaning, developing empathy and self-expression.
