About Dot Kids

I am a mother of two wonderfully creative children with boundless energy. Their thirst for knowledge and enthusiasm for creativity encouraged me to set up Dot Kids; Creative Arts workshops and courses. Within the last year I have also added Mindfulness & Mindset Sessions too, which build confidence and the ability to better cope with daily stress.

I have developed an ethos which encourages creative confidence, freedom & experimentation, alongside contextual awareness & discussion, which is 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.

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.

My own background is in art and photography, having studied at the London School of Printing. I have worked for many years in the Education & Multimedia Unit at the British Museum, producing educational facilities for schools. I am fully DBS checked and hold an Enhanced Certificate. 
The Dot Kids approach to creative arts has proved very successful. Therefore, I am now releasing Online workshops & courses so that any child around the world can experience our classes. 

We  currently run regular workshops & courses during the school holidays and After School Art Power sessions.

Sessions run in Whitstable, Margate & Faversham in Kent and London. At the beginning of 2020, Dot Kids will be training new teachers via the Dot Kids Franchise Program - bringing Dot Kids to many more locations around the UK and beyond! Interested in the Dot Kids Franchise Program?

The Dot Kids workshops & courses cover art, animation, film making, comic book creation, print making, digital sound composition, poetry and clay sculpture.

In addition, I offer one-to-one Creative Mentoring to help lift creative blocks, increase confidence and enhance self-expression. These sessions can be delivered in my studio in Whitstable, Kent or via conference zoom calls, so you do not need to live locally to take part.
