Nature-inspired workshops in Oxfordshire

Mindful, sustainable, creative experiences for individuals, groups, and organisations

I believe art is for everyone. My workshops are gentle, welcoming spaces for people to go slow and appreciate the little things.

Create art that feels grounding and joyful

My workshops are perfect for:

  • community groups

  • corporate wellbeing sessions

  • friends and families

  • creative beginners and experienced artists

  • anyone looking for a grounding experience

I have experience working with a range of vulnerable groups including:

  • Children

  • Neurodivergent people

  • LGBTQIA+ people

  • Learning Disabled people

  • Asylum seekers

  • The elderly

I love exploring different ways to approach art and finding people pathways that work for them, making them feel welcome and supported.

Accessibility and inclusion

As a Disabled person myself, I am passionate about accessibility.

As an accessibility consultant, I design every workshop with care. I can adapt sessions for a wide range of access needs, including neurodivergence, mobility issues, learning differences, sensory needs, communication preferences, and more.

What to expect:

  • A gentle pace and a mindful approach

  • A warm, welcoming vibe

  • Natural and/or sustainable materials

  • An inclusive approach

  • A space to experiment and play

  • Connection to nature

"Molly's printing workshop had such a warm and supportive atmosphere, where playfulness was encouraged"

Eden Fay, Artist and Mindfulness Facilitator

  • My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at this class! The instruction was beginner-friendly but the final products didn’t look “beginner”

  • "They [...] foraged and utilised items already owned to make the activity sustainable and affordable for all to enjoy."

  • "It was so lovely to participate in something so calming and friendly"

  • "We also felt safe and included the whole time, which in today’s climate can be so hard to find."

  • "Having an affordable activity where you can meet and chat with others of a similar background was great and really gave my mental health a boost"
