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.
