dolali

Henleaze

Hi my name's Lali aka DOLALi and I'm a visual artist based in Bristol, UK. A play on the word 'doolally', I take the definition of being 'transported with excitement or pleasure' with a hint of madness to heart in my creative pursuits, which manifests into making whatever I feel like making Born in the Philippines, I spent my childhood running around rainforests, which turned into rolling fields when I moved to England. Fast forward through Cornwall and London - 5 years and 2 law degrees later - I finally followed my heart and started a career as an independent artist in Melbourne, Australia.

blue butterfly crafts

I have been keen on arts and crafts since childhood, and also made mud pies in my Gran's garden! II started ceramics in 2001 and I became passionate about the craft! Since 2017, I've been working in my workshop next to my house where I also run classes. I find that when I work with clay, time stops and I forget all my worries. I love the versatility of clay; the potential to produce pieces which are both beautiful and functional. I use hand-building techniques to make vases and dishes as well as sculptures, wall art, and jewellery etc. I am inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Plants, animals and landscapes regularly appear in my work. I often use leaves to impress patterns into the clay - many from my garden. In my steampunk range, I use computer components, screws, lace etc. Everything has the potential for an interesting texture!

art by vanessa

Hi there. I'm Vanessa and I love sharing skills. Having worked in the corporate world for nearly 30 years, and thinking more recently about how I could inspire creativity in others, I became self-employed and launched my arts and crafts for wellbeing business in 2021. I am a Certified Zentangle®️ Teacher, which means that I teach an amazing drawing technique, all about patterns. I am also a professional singer/pianist and enjoy performing regularly at weddings and private events. I was born in New Zealand, adopted at two weeks old (lucky me!), and grew up in wonderful Hong Kong. I specialise in making workshops logical and easy to follow, through a step-by-step approach, enabling everyone to succeed and to feel proud of what they have achieved in a short space of time. Enjoy looking through my workshops if you're a company HR member, a wellbeing/employee engagement specialist, responsible for culture, or a team leader, please enjoy looking through my experiences here. Please get in touch by email here, if you'd like an arty team experience to remember. And as an aside, this is music website - www.vanessahastings.co.uk See you!
