About The Speaker...

I am an avid crafter with over 20 years of experience creating personalised gifts. Since experimenting with different mediums, my works have ranged from cards to book art. I was born and bred in Glasgow and moved to the East Midlands two decades ago which is when my passion for craft turned into a business. Having many years of performing stand up comedy, my talks are far from boring!
Previously, I have delivered talks to institutions such as the National Libraries, U3A, and the Women’s Institute. Also, I was able to do workshops for both the book art and memory/scrapbook pages.

About Their Talks...

Currently, I offer two talks: The Importance of Scrapbooking and Introducing Book Art. Though very different from one another, both Book Art and Scrapbooking are centred around sustainability and repurposing of materials to create one-of-a-kind artwork. For both talks I will require at least a 4ft long table for demonstration purposes. As the talks are centred around the demonstration and the construction of these art forms, my talks are versatile to suit your needs. I usually complete a talk in approximately an hour which includes the Q&A section at the end but this can be altered depending on the group and the allocated time I am asked to deliver for.

Fee:

My fees will include travel expenses to and from the destination as well as the time of the talk itself. The fee is dependent upon the size of the group.

The Importance of Scrapbooking

In this talk, I will delve into the importance of creating and documenting special memories for future generations. We have so many digital pictures on our phones and laptops, most of which we don’t look at. Therefore, why not create a personalised book consisting of only your favourite memories and time stamping them? I will unravel the best kept secrets of scrapbooking and complete a live demonstration showing my my top tips and tricks to creating your own masterpiece.

Introducing Book Art...

This is a new art form, having only recently gained popularity, book art gives old unwanted books a new lease of life! In this talk I will partially construct a book to show how I create this intricate piece of art and provide it’s intriguing history. To aid my demonstration, I will also have a selection of completed Book Art to showcase the variety of forms a book can take.
