About Me

Working with Crafty Hen is just pure joy. To share an incredibly special moment in a person’s life with a group of friends and family, making memories with them with so much love and care…well, it’s just lovely.

My Favourite Things

I love upcycling, taking something that’s unloved and giving it a new life and making it beautiful and unique. You may find me rummaging in a skip given half a chance! I love creativity and “making” in many different ways…from sewing to reading a good book or seeing an incredible play. Let’s be honest is there anything better than a good book in the bath! Nope.

My Area of Expertise

Jewellery, textiles, upcycling! I make costume jewellery, do a bit of flower design/arranging and reclaim small pieces of furniture and up-cycle them.

I wanted to pass on my thanks to Emma who ran our pottery painting session.
We had such a wonderful time and a great experience. She was extremely friendly and professional and left the place spotless.
Cannot thank her enough for helping make the day so enjoyable!

Thank you so much for organising such a lovely event! The bride to be and all of us were so impressed by Emma and just how much fun we all had! I think we’ve all left the session having learnt something new!
