Fun with felt flowers gives beginners all the basic information to learn felting around a resist. In the three and a half hours, students will make two different flowers, using different techniques, along with different centres. &nbsp;&nbsp;Workshops start at 10am. I can teach up to nine people here and I can also travel within 20 miles if someone wants a group of friends (minimum 5 participants) in their own house or school. &nbsp;Fabulous idea for a hen party! &nbsp;Please note, though, I do charge mileage. &nbsp;If you have a larger group (say WI or class parents) I am happy to run workshops for up to 20 people in your own venue.My workshops are not timetabled, so there is a great deal of flexibility on dates - just get in touch and we&#39;ll sort out a day to suit us both!Please also check out my other listings for Workshops in a Wallet. These include Fun with Felt Flowers and Gone to Seed at Home, covering much of what you would learn with me here in West Horsley, as well as newer workshops - Loving Lavender and Creepies and Crawlies.While I won&#39;t be able to answer queries as they arise, I will be happy to answer emailed questions if you have any as you progress through the workshop instructions or you can telephone me between 9.30am and 4pm. &nbsp;Please note I cannot teach children without a responsible adult accompanying them and both must be booked on the course.<h3 style="color: rgb(62, 64, 67); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(62, 64, 67);">What&#39;s included in the price?</h3>All materials are included and brooch pins/necklace ribbons for the finished flowers.

PRACTICEXPERIMENT is artist-educator Puy Soden&rsquo;s new programme of events to enable more people to access experimental, process-led art-making. These day workshops are for anyone looking to learn about art-making processes and to enjoy experimenting with materials and methods in a fun, relaxed, supportive space. ​ There are four different workshops that repeat and alternate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in August 2021. Each workshop focuses on the 'how' of art-making, and encourages participants to test methods and materials which are new to their practice.&nbsp;This listing is for the 4th in the series: FIGURE-GROUND.
I believe that the figure-ground function is the fundamental issue of painting. By exploring how figure-ground relationships can change around in the perception of artworks, a new world of painting/art-making possibilities will open up to those who attend this workshop. Participants will be given the opportunity to learn how the image and the background relate through three-dimensional experiments, colour theory tests, and their own practice-led experiments using materials of their choice. Context: various artworks from prehistoric cave paintings to the present day.
In addition to the materials provided, participants are encouraged to bring their own art-making supplies, materials, sketchbooks, and any sources of inspiration.
The workshops run from 10am to 3pm and cost &pound;48 per person per day. Materials are provided as well as safety equipment when appropriate (gloves, goggles, dust masks). The venue is a town-centre location. Unfortunately, due to Covid 19 protocol, refreshments cannot be offered. However, there are plenty of places nearby to buy food and drink.
Covid-19 distancing and sanitisation procedures in place.

These day workshops are for anyone looking to learn about art-making processes and to enjoy experimenting with materials and methods in a fun, relaxed, supportive space. ​ There are four different workshops that repeat and alternate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in August 2021. Each workshop focuses on the 'how' of art-making, and encourages participants to test methods and materials which are new to their practice.&nbsp;This listing is for the second in the series: SUPPORT and GROUND.
In the history of painting, artists have used many different types of support in their painting practices, and continue to challenge the assumption that stretched canvas is the predominant choice. Painting is now seen as a whole object rather than simply a picture on a surface, and the support is as important as the image. Having selected and prepared several unconventional supports, participants will be invited to consider the significance of the [back]ground in their painting practice. Context: the artworks of American conceptual painter Robert Ryman.
In addition to the materials provided, participants are encouraged to bring their own art-making supplies, materials, sketchbooks, and any sources of inspiration.

Consider, select and prepare different supports for painting, and focus on the significance of ground in terms of both the image and the artwork’s structure.

With the help of Charlotte, you&rsquo;ll use the tools and techniques to make and finish your own silver Russian ring. Charlotte has been teaching and hosting workshops since 2013.Form and solder three silver bands to create a tactile ring. This beautiful, delicate style of ring incorporates three thin bands of silver to create one single interlinking band. Often called the &ldquo;Russian wedding ring&rdquo;, the three elements are said to embody the past, present and future. In more religious settings, it is said to denote father, son and holy spirit. In modern settings, it becomes a lovely tactile fiddle ring.Charlotte guides you through the process of sizing, forming, piercing, and soldering your rings before finishing and polishing. Walk away with your very own silver Russian ring. You will have the chance to experiment with textures on copper before applying to your silver.&nbsp;

Chynna Clayton Bio
Keynote Speaker
 

Empathetic, strategic, and meticulous about the details, Chynna Clayton has built a career enabling some of the world’s most influential leaders to excel in high-stress environments.
Chynna is the founder and CEO of Matriarch Made Development, a consulting firm that helps organizations develop high performing administrative teams and identify and address overall operating structure
and events logistics inefficiencies. From helping leaders figure out their onboarding, communication flow, event logistics and how to further develop the talents of their teams, Chynna supports leading organizations in creating a systematic approach to tackling business/events challenges and bottlenecks.
Prior to Matriarch Made, Chynna worked in the personal office of Barack and Michelle Obama as their Director of Travel and Event Operations. Her career also includes administrative roles at Disney and the White House where she served as “body woman” to Mrs. Obama during the Obama Administration.
Chynna graduated from University of Florida with a B.S. in Event Management and Political Science and a minor in Business. She currently resides in Washington, DC with her wife, Retired Naval Chief Petty Officer, Katina Hoyles.
Chynna was featured in Michelle Obama’s latest book, The Light We Carry

“She could adapt in all types of environments, remain­ing unflappable in the face of change. On any given day, I might go from having a conversation with a group of students at a school to filming a television show or recording a podcast. I could meet with a world leader or the head of a philanthropic organization and then have dinner with A-list celebrities. It was Chynna facilitating every move.”

Are you a stressed, exhausted SEN/EBSA parent or carer, running on empty, with no time to shout "HELP!"&nbsp;let alone step off the hamster wheel to rest, recharge and recuperate?Parenting neurodivergent and/or school avoidant young people comes with a unique set of challenges and, if you&#39;re finding yourself lurching from managing meltdowns to fighting for support or feeling isolated and judged because people don&#39;t understand, it can be really hard and I GET IT!After finding myself pretty much burnt out I discovered and implemented quick and simple self-help and relaxation tools that have helped strengthen my coping skills to navigate my family&#39;s journey, rebuild my resilience and rediscover&nbsp;my old self!&nbsp;I was so blown away by how beneficial simple habits can be that it&#39;s my mission to help others do the same - and so I created&nbsp;The SHARE Project.The ethos of THE SHARE Project is that&nbsp;we need to put our own oxygen mask on first&nbsp;so that we can&nbsp;best support our kids&nbsp;and my aim is that the tools you will learn during our time together will become your oxygen mask, not only for use in case of emergency, but as a sustainable part of your ongoing&nbsp;self-care and wellbeing.During each&nbsp;of four, weekly, live&nbsp;online workshops, delivered over Zoom, you will learn and practise a new tool to implement daily over the coming week (just a&nbsp;few minutes at a time, I promise)!Then, during the following week&#39;s workshop we will review your progress, make any tweaks and learn and practise the next tool...&nbsp;There&#39;ll be no suggestions of long and luxurious spa days and fluffy robes because most of us don&#39;t have the time to do that very often and, frankly, the benefits disappear almost as soon as you&#39;ve driven home... My mission&nbsp;is to give you sustainable tools to use anytime and anywhere to help yourself cope better and feel happier, regardless of what&#39;s going on around you!Each group session gives you the opportunity to connect with other SEN parents or carers&nbsp;experiencing similar challenges.What our clients say:"The Share project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges. &nbsp;The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.""I gained different techniques to build resilience and overcome overwhelm."&nbsp; "has helped me have a more positive outlook day to day, relaxation has helped with my sleep" If you have any questions, please ask and I will be happy to help :)Sue&nbsp;

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet life-changing self-help and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength. The transformation was so profound that I knew I had to share it with others—and that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our four-week, live online workshop series, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice a new tool designed to fit seamlessly into your life (just a few minutes a day, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, and introduce the next tool.  This isn’t just a one-off workshop; it’s a journey of growth and connection.
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  Together, we’ll share experiences, uplift each other, and grow stronger.
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”
“It has helped me to have a more positive outlook day-to-day, and the relaxation has helped with my sleep.”	
“I looked forward to the sessions each week, they gave me time to focus on myself for a change.”
Ready to Feel More Calm and Happy?
If you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel and start reclaiming your joy, The SHARE Project is here for you. Let’s work together to help you feel more at peace, more resilient, and, most importantly, more you.

Bitesize Masterclass with Sophie Chapman
Sophie Chapman
EA to Steven Bartlett 

Although Sophie initially aspired to be a talent agent, she swiftly realised that her career passions lay within the administrative/operational aspects of working life. 

Following her graduation in Entertainment Management from LIPA in 2008, she gained extensive work experience across renowned entities such as Sony BMG and Sky One, operating within the spheres of TV, music, radio, and the events industry. Her pivotal entry into a PA role came while supporting musician Eliza Doolittle.

After five years, Sophie opted to move home to Liverpool and accept a contract supporting Sir Dave Brailsford of Team Sky. Once complete, Sophie received an offer for a position based in the US with an A-list musician. However, her journey led her to discover her "forever role", providing support to Steven Bartlett.
Steven, the Founder and former Group CEO of Social Chain, is a multifaceted individual—a published author, podcaster, entrepreneur, and presently, the youngest-ever Dragon on BBC's Dragon's Den. Sophie has been instrumental as Steven's Executive Assistant, operating on a global scale, in both private and corporate realms for six years.
