About The Handcrafted Hen
Traditional Craft, Contemporary Design
You will find me most Saturdays and Thursdays at Studio 36 in Resorts World Birmingham where I help people Create a Wearable Masterpiece- see my 'Workshops' page for more details.
With over 20 years teaching art and design from level 1 to level 5 for ages 8 upwards, I offer workshops in bookbinding, sewing, textiles, drawing and watercolour painting.
Contact me at hello@thehandcraftedhen.co.uk if you'd like to book a crafty corporate event, a hands-on workshop for art teachers and students, a crafty hen party, or a craft-based family and friends get together.
Hand bound, hand marbled, beautifully unique
My story so far...
About me
My handmade books are more than a product I'm selling, they helped restore my self-belief as a maker, and gave me a goal so I could move forward during a difficult time. I hope they can mean something amazing to you. Fill these books with whatever makes you feel good, and enjoy.
I'm an artist, maker and tutor with a love of traditional crafts and handmade objects. My work combines bookbinding and Turkish marbling to create journals and silk scarves that celebrate craftsmanship and the unique beauty of the handmade.
Alongside my own creative practice, I run workshops in bookbinding, marbling, sewing and art, helping people of all ages discover the enjoyment of making something for themselves. I also teach at the MAC (Midlands Arts Centre) and work with Solihull College to deliver art and sewing classes in the community.
