WORKSHOP
‘The Collagists’ is a series of six studio style session that delve deep into methods and modes of meaning making. When it comes to collage, there are NO RULES. Collage is for the radical, the punk, the dreamer. It’s stolen scraps and pieces picked from recycling, trash becomes treasure and nothing is wasted. These sessions that I’ve designed ready to deliver approach collage from a psychological stand-point, questioning how gestures, process and mood can affect creative outcomes.

WORKSHOP
VIDEO ART — METHOD-MADNESS-MEANING is a series of six sessions that seek to support young video art ideas at the early stages of development, by opening up discourse and pulling on the power of video. Each session approaches a theme from a social-psychological perspective. Rather than instruct on the tech aspects of video making, the series examines the emotional affects of video languages and focuses on how to deploy and develop these concepts into your work.

Dearly departed,
Letters to the dead
As a practicing shamanic medium I offer a letter writing workshop that addresses the dead, dying and departed. Throughout the workshop I will introduce you to the world beyond the veil, helping you to connect with your dearly departed through ritual and writing. Whether it’s words of unfinished business, heart-felt prose, or remembering funny moment, let me be your mediator and guide to those who have dearly departed. Please be aware that there is a ceremonial and deeply spiritual aspect to this work, of which I am happy to discuss prior to booking.
