We live on the Aldershot-Farnham border with classes based in our home studio or larger courses and events are also held at gallery venues locally. 

We hold various well-being and coaching certifications and we love exploring positive mental heath with clients through expressive and creative arts; painting, clay work, crafting, poetry, journaling and performance as well as teaching. We are solution-focussed coaches also. 

Bev has been a teacher (QTS) since 1998, and was a headteacher for 16 years before retiring from the profession. She still enjoys working with schools through workshops and events, as well as supporting children, as well as adults, through confidence coaching. She still works in SEND and inspection consultancy. 

She takes commissions alongside surface design and  illustration work. As a mixed-media artist she often combines 3D elements, or different media. She is able to teach a variety of crafted elements associated with Waldorf and Nordic education such as whittling, leather craft, printing, silk, felt craft and embroidery. She also enjoys the privilege of working with families through wedding day art and invitations, bedroom design and my 'miniature worlds' to celebrate special events. 

James works in electrical project managing but also creates beautiful objects such as lamps, tables and bars from reclaimed and re-purposed objects. 

We have both travelled extensively through nordic countries and try to create elements of calm, cosy hygge in our art, classes and work. Hygge has become an important philosophy in our lives and we have taken time out to travel, home educate and cherish a simpler, calmer existance at various points in our lives.
