Kate West

kate west

After gaining my CertEd in the 1990s I taught in FE Colleges and the private sector for many years before working with Pioneer Projects. Initially I was working as a volunteer with what was to become their Own Now project for people living with dementia and their carer’s. I had finally found my niche working with some amazing people, on both sides of the art tables and it was one of the most rewarding ‘jobs’ I had ever done: art, coaching and working with very inspiring people. After progressing from Assistant to Lead Artist I was asked to start similar art projects for other organisations and eventually setup my own workshops which I truly love, whether it’s watching groups gel and relax, or progressing as artists.

Wayward Weaves

wayward weaves

Stroud

Wayward Weaves is a Stroud-based studio offering workshops in Saori, a form of weaving from Japan that encourages improvisation and free expression. Picture In Saori, there are no rules and no mistakes, just pure absorbtion and immersion in the weaving. Through Saori you can explore a wonderful world of colour and texture using just yarns, threads and your imagination. Beginners can learn to weave in an intuitive and relaxed way whilst more practiced weavers can find new inspiration, exploring techniques without a pattern or plan. Saori enables everyone to enjoy the rhythm and creativity of weaving regardless of age, experience, aptitude or disability. The basic skills are fun and easy to learn and most people are able to start creating their own unique textiles within minutes.

Woolly Wild Folk

woolly wild folk

Northern Ireland

My name is Carolyn Faith and I am a reformed book keeper. I have the good fortune to be living in the beautiful Roe Valley which bridges the gap between the legendary Causeway Coast and the wildness of the Sperrin Mountains. I had my creative spirit re-ignited in 2016 when I attended some craft workshops run by a few of the many talented craftspeople who inhabit this corner of Northern Ireland. I have dabbled with willow and played with wire, I’ve crocheted and knitted, tried patchwork and clay but Woolly Wild Folk only came about when I discovered needle felting and the buzz of seeing little creatures coming to life in my hands using nothing but fluff and a needle!

Noise Academy

noise academy

London

Noise Academy was created in 2015 by Joe Townsley who is a midlands based DJ and Music producer. Joe studied Music production at Access Creative College in Lincoln and felt inspired by the innovation of the sessions and how engaged he became through the use of music technology. After completing the course, Joe went into organising Dance music events in the club scene whilst playing at many other live DJ events and festivals. Joe came across the opportunity to do some work experience with ‘Jeff Rich’ who was the main drummer for the famous ‘Status Quo’. He helped Jeff set up several Drumming workshops in primary schools across the UK and this opened Joe’s eyes to a whole new world. He felt so inspired by the workshops and a light bulb moment occurred. Dj skills in schools? This could work really well… Joe found out about the Prince’s Trust enterprise scheme and approached them with his idea. He was offered a place on the course, and with their support and guidance, Noise Academy was born. Building up from just one school, Noise Academy now work with over 50 schools every week along with facilitating holiday clubs across Christmas, Easter and Summer. Noise Academy have since been supported by Youth Music to help develop their own educational hub alongside receiving numerous awards including; CO-OP Community Champions and The AIM Local Hero Awards (BBC Music introducing) #makesomenoise “I am so lucky to have found my niche, and to be able to do something that I love every day. My goal is to share the same message and encourage young people to follow their passion ” Joe Townsley – Managing Director

Red Brick Glass

red brick glass

In 2000 after graduating with a 1st class degree in glass from Edinburgh College of Art Wendy moved into her first glass studio, a small red brick outbuilding in her home in Dorset. Wendy then received the prestigious Crafts Council Start Up Award to purchase equipment to start Red Brick Glass (the glass kiln is still going strong 20 years on!) Wendy worked as an architectural glass artist, collaborating with interior designers and architects to create large-scale glass installations and made small glass work to sell in galleries and shops. After a few years Wendy launched her website (with a new-fangled online shop) and started to run fused glass making workshops. 4 years ago Wendy moved into her new home and studio, a gorgeous barn conversion in the beautiful village of West Lulworth, Dorset. This was a dream come true as Wendy always wanted to live within walking distance from the sea. She still doesn’t take it for granted and walks to get her dose of sea air most days. Red Brick Glass continues to grow and develop. Wendy designed the make at home kits during lockdown 2020 as she couldn’t run workshops and due to their success she now needs a little help in the studio to keep up with orders. Vicki is the brilliant new studio assistant and Wendy’s teenage daughters help out at weekends and holidays (filling up colourful glass pots is the favourite job). We are very grateful to Red Brick Glass customers who have supported us over the years. We are excited for the future and hope you will follow us on our journey.

Rachel Godfrey

rachel godfrey

I’m a poet, prose-poet, short story writer and journal keeper. I write regularly for enjoyment, self-exploration, and as a form of reflective practice, and I’m passionate about the link between creative expression and wellbeing. “I’ve loved stories, poems and language since I was young. I’m fascinated by the different means we all use to communicate with others, and how we strive to overcome the blocks we encounter in our attempts to hear and be heard by others.” — RACHEL GODFREY I'm also a qualified and experienced Creative Writing for Wellbeing facilitator, offering interactive courses and workshops for adults, as well as one-to-one mentoring. I create and hold a space where participants can take creative and emotional risks to express themselves on the page in short (5-25 minute) bursts of 'live' spontaneous writing (poetry, narrative, prose-poetry, autobiographical fiction, memoir, and other forms), in response to a range of prompts. Participants can choose to share their writing and/or to discuss their reflections on the writing process, knowing that anything they do share will be held supportively. I constantly marvel at the diverse pieces generated by a single prompt and a time limit, and it’s a privilege to witness people grow in confidence as they entrust themselves, their writing and their creative process to the group. I have a background in ELT / TESOL (English Language Teaching / Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), and I’ve been a published author in this field for about 15 years. This work draws on my years of experience as a teacher and teacher trainer, and satisfies my deep interest in the patterns, sounds, and nuances of meaning of English.
