Kira

About Me

I’m living my arty life in all ways – working for a circus as my day job, dancing with a Burlesque club in the evenings, and teaching hen parties on weekends! I also create some of my own clothes and costumes when not looking after my house full of furballs (I have 3 cats and 3 dogs!). I’m also a neurodiversity advocate.

My Favourite Things

Dancing, sewing, going to the theatre – I love anything from West End musicals to Burlesque to drag shows.

Area of Expertise

I made jewellery for many years but now my main love is sewing and I love working with fabric and embellishments. I also used to teach at a Mental Health charity so I am experienced at enabling all sorts of people to be creative.

We had an amazing time with Kira from the Crafty Hen. The whole booking process from start to finish was easy and questions were answered quickly! On the day set up was seamless and instructions given were so clear with examples to show! Kira was so much fun and felt like part of the group!

We did a quilt workshop with Kira in Wales for a hen weekend; it was a really fantastic afternoon and we all loved it. Kira was brilliant and so helpful; she made the more daunted among us feel that we were able to get to grips with applique and stitching! I definitely recommend the Crafty Hen to anyone planning a group activity.
