Hi! My name is Emily and I run Make Play Do art clubs.
I am a graphic designer, collage artist and mum. I moved from London to Chesham 10 years ago to raise my family and fell in love with this friendly little town that’s filled with creative people!
I graduated with a BA Hons Degree in Animation in 2003 and again in 2011 with a Masters Degree in Graphic Design. I have two decades of experience working in many creative roles from prop & puppet making to mural painting!
I want to share my passion for all things creative, through teaching a wide variety of fresh, fun and structured practical workshops in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions or enquiries, I would love to hear from you!
next workshops - february ‘25
