Would you like to learn a new skill with me or take time out to be creative in a gentle, encouraging space?
I'm delighted to return to CREATE98 in Leigh-on-Sea this October, with two seasonal workshops rooted in nature and creative exploration.
Whether you're new to botanical printmaking or ready to take your practice further, these workshops offer a gentle space to pause, create, and connect with the natural world.
Botanical Printmaking
October 2nd, 2025 — 1–3.30pm | £45
Perfect for beginners or those wanting to revisit the basics, this workshop introduces the meditative process of botanical printmaking, a creative technique that uses real plant material to make direct contact prints on paper. We’ll explore simple yet beautiful methods using leaves, flowers, and natural textures to produce layered, atmospheric prints. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with your own set of nature inspired prints to keep or gift.
Advanced Botanical Printmaking: Next Steps New Class
October 30th, 2025 — 1–3.30pm | £45
For those who’ve already attended my previous session (or have some botanical printmaking experience), this follow-on workshop offers a deeper dive. We'll explore ways to refine your prints, introduce more complex compositions and experiment with added layers of drawing, collage and paint. Expect space for individual guidance and gentle experimentation as you develop your personal visual language.

"What I love most about Claire’s teaching is that she never pushes a ‘right way’, she gives you the tools, shows you how and then encourages you to explore your own path. It’s such an empowering experience." Judith.
"Claire is a calm, patient teacher who explains things so clearly, I never felt rushed or unsure. Her demonstrations are clear and she creates a space where you feel free to experiment and find your own style." Linda.
