Green Rooms Market
You will often find me and my stall at Greenrooms Market. I met Annie and Jemma, the market founders and organisers in June 2018, when I did my first stall and workshops with them at Peckham Springs. Since then, they’ve gone from strength to strength and their markets are increasingly popular and they are building up a porfolio of great venues in London and beyond. I’ve now been a stall holder at 5 of their fantastic markets, including a 3 day event at the RHS Urban Garden Show, where I hosted several workshops and made some great friends and contacts. Long may this relationship continue!

Household-design.com 'Building brand experiences'
I appeared in a blogpost written by Household which is a creative agency that helps to develop and build brands. The article explores the opportunity brands have to provide product-related skills and activities to elevate brand experience and build brand love. It featured a photo of me in action at the Argos Home event where I taught a number of macrame workshops.

'Getting Crafty with Argos' written by Amy Davies Pereira @littlehouseinlondon
Argos Home invited me to host two workshops at their press and influencer launch events in London.
My brief was to deliver macrame workshops over two days. On the first day, I ran two plant hanger workshops, the first in the morning during breakfast and then one in the evening and then the same on the following day, although this time I taught my wall hanging workshop. The morning workshops were for press/influencers and the evening sessions were a ticketed event open to the public.
