I am also happy to offer individualized sessions, either one-on-one or in pairs, so you can gain the skills and knowledge you want, at my Bloomsbury Workshop.

​

Sessions in my London studio can be adapted to suit your needs, ensuring that you achieve your creative goals.You can even book me  to facilitate workshops in your own venue -just contact me to discuss the details. You can discuss your ideas and try out some techniques to get you started.

 

Gift vouchers for my workshops are also available, making it the perfect gift for someone special who wants to unlock their creative potential.

 

​One student who attended a one-on-one session said "Jacky was really encouraging about learning, she broke the process down with clear explanations and demonstrations.. She is patient and so generous with all her knowledge, always giving pointers and repeating demonstrations when needed. Working with Jacky has really given me the confidence that I can continue developing these skills more independently. That said, every session with her is so fun and I'm always excited and thinking about when I can return next!"​

 

Another workshop participant said "I spent a wonderful morning with Jacky learning about all things metal. We covered soldering, forming shapes and manipulating metal in various ways. Her knowledge and skill really seep through when you spend time with her. She is very encouraging and her artistic passion meant that not only did I learn practical techniques during our session but I also had a chance to reflect and develop some of my own ideas through our inspiring conversations."​

​

Another quote I absolutely loved was " I am not an artist, but the workshop made me feel like one."

 

I am enthusiastic about working with others to realize their creative potential, no matter their background, through excellent differentiation that responds to their needs and aspirations. With a flexible and confident approach, I offer participants a variety of ways to develop their ideas, supporting them to work in a way that has personal significance, whether in subject matter, the physical creation of the piece, or the development of new found skills.​

 

My experience allows her to take creative risks and encourage participants to experiment with ideas and processes, pushing boundaries and ensuring that everyone leaves with a real sense of achievement. I have worked with a variety of groups, from families to pensioners to museum/art groups, and has taught at primary and secondary schools, pupil referral units, foundation courses, and undergraduate levels.

 

Unlock your creative potential come along and enjoy one of the many workshops I offer.
