Are you an institutions or a community that wants to think, make and reflect together?
Parallel to my artistic practice, I design artist-led workshops and public programmes. Through my platform Zinetopia (since 2021), I have impacted over 2000 people through discussion-led, creative workshops.
At the heart of my approach is using creative methods to hold meaningful conversations. This brings people together, encourages playfulness, and creates space for reflection.
Each workshop is bespoke, designed in response to the needs of your institution or community. They are held as shared spaces for conversation, making, and reflection. Moving beyond standard EDI or professional development sessions, the work is intimate, generous, and rooted in creative practice.
Ways We Can Work Together
All workshops can be booked as series or one-off and tailored to your needs
Curated Thematic Workshop
Most
commonly
booked
This work is best suited to schools, universities, community groups, and organisations. Each session is tailored to your group and aims, with topics shaped around areas such as identity, history, climate, wellbeing, design, or wider social themes. Workshops usually run for 1.5–2 hours and work particularly well in intergenerational or educational settings. Outcomes may include zines, visual archives, collective artworks, portraiture, or collage posters. Sessions can be delivered as a one-off or developed into a series.
Drop-in Creative Workshop
This format is best suited to galleries, community spaces, festivals and open days. Sessions are open and flexible, allowing participants to drop in at any point and make something creative at their own pace. The atmosphere is low-pressure, playful and accessible, with light guidance and a focus on hands-on making. This approach works especially well for public programmes and casual engagement. Outcomes often include zines, collage or drawing. These sessions are usually charged hourly, with flexible rates available for charities and community organisations.
Bespoke/Professional Development Workshop
This format is best suited to institutions, staff teams, brands and organisations. Sessions are fully customised and shaped around your specific needs, whether that’s staff development, EDI reflection, team connection or campaign ideation. Each workshop is designed in conversation with you, responding to context, people and aims rather than following a fixed template. The sessions can support team reflection, feedback gathering and creative thinking, and often feel more like a facilitated gathering than formal training. Workshops can run as a one-off session or form part of a wider programme, depending on what’s most useful.

Curated Thematic Workshop
The most popular medium for my creative workshops is zines; small, DIY booklets. This is because zines offer a diverse approach, combining collage, writing, and illustration. For all workshops, I source archival and documentary materials to make the sessions as accurate and engaging as possible.
