Your teacher
Hi, I’m Susanna — an artist, designer and lifelong maker with over 10 years of experience working across the creative industries, including film and television. My creative practice has taken me from large-scale set design and decoration to painting, photography, sewing and making, and I love sharing the skills and creative freedom that come with making something by hand.I teach sewing, watercolour, oil and acrylic painting, with classes designed to be relaxed, approachable and genuinely enjoyable — whether you’re picking up a paintbrush or sewing machine for the first time or looking to build on skills you already have.For me, teaching is about much more than learning a technique. It’s about giving people the confidence to experiment, make mistakes, and discover their own creative style. There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching someone go from “I don’t think I can do this” to proudly holding up something they’ve made themselves.My professional experience in film and television has given me a practical, problem-solving approach to creativity. I’ve learned that there’s rarely just one way to make something work — and that mindset is something I bring into every class.Whether you want to learn the basics of sewing, explore colour and composition through painting, or simply spend a few hours doing something creative, I’d love to help you get started.
