Workshops

I design and deliver creative learning and creative writing workshops for schools and community settings across Wales. My workshops are shaped collaboratively and respond to the needs, interests, and contexts of participants, while supporting confidence, reflection, and creative expression. Across all my work, I place a strong emphasis on care, inclusion, and the role of creativity in supporting wellbeing.

Creative Learning Workshops

I am an experienced creative practitioner with over a decade’s experience delivering creative learning workshops in schools and community settings.

As a creative writing and creative learning practitioner for the Arts Council of Wales’s Lead Creative Schools scheme, I have supported new ways of working in schools that embed creativity across the curriculum. In 2026, I will be planning, facilitating, and contributing to the evaluation of workshops across south east Wales as part of the Arts Council’s Experiment programme.

Alongside my work in schools, I regularly collaborate with community arts organisations and charities to devise and deliver creative learning and creative writing programmes that align with the aims of both organisations and participants. This includes work focused on literacy, oracy, creativity, and engagement, delivered in both school and community contexts.

I am also an experienced scriptwriting facilitator. Scriptwriting projects to date include co-writing a short film with secondary school learners exploring Welsh identity, Thirteen: Words, delivered in collaboration with Valley and Vale Community Arts, and a second project with First Light exploring bilingualism. The resulting film, Wenglish, won Best Film at the UK Media for Schools Awards.

Writing for Wellbeing Workshops

Alongside my creative learning work, I also work as a writing for wellbeing facilitator, designing and delivering creative writing workshops that support wellbeing through creative practice. I recently completed Literature Wales’s Writing Well professional development programme, which has further shaped and strengthened this strand of my practice.

My ongoing ambition is to develop creative writing programmes that have a tangible, positive impact on the wellbeing of young people. I am particularly interested in the connections between creative expression, physical movement, wellbeing, and the outdoors, and in how these elements can combine to deepen engagement and support emotional wellbeing. One programme developed from this interest is AmDro, which takes young people on creative writing and geocaching adventures within their local community.

Alongside my work in schools, I have delivered creative writing and journalling workshops for wellbeing in community settings, including wellbeing-focused creative journalling workshops for Taking Flight Theatre, who work with deaf, disabled, non-disabled, and neurodivergent performers.

At the heart of my practice is a commitment to delivering bespoke creative writing for wellbeing workshops that respond to the needs and interests of participants. Workshops are designed to support confidence, reflection, and self-expression through writing, with sharing always optional. Where appropriate, I incorporate elements of physical movement or outdoor activity and offer a range of creative approaches, including creative journalling, poetry, and short prose. I also enjoy collaborating with other practitioners to deliver multidisciplinary workshops that combine creative writing with visual arts, drama, or film.
