My Story

I have worked as a Primary School Teacher and Art lead for the past 20 years. 

During lockdown I rediscovered my love of all things creative,  up-cycling furniture, weaving willow and painting in the park. Recently I felt it was time to take the plunge and create my dream job!

Creative Encounters was born…..


Creating art relieves stress, encourages creative thinking, increases brain plasticity…”
