Are you looking for a workshop facilitator?
I have hosted ticketed workshops, community activities, educational sessions in galleries, outdoor activities, and family-focused drop-in creative events across the West Yorkshire community and beyond.

"Zoe's cyanotype workshop at Ilkley Manor House was an unforgettable experience. Her passion for the cyanotype process truly shines through, and she made the entire session feel approachable and hands-on, welcoming all skill levels. Her relaxed, friendly teaching style allowed participants to explore the art form creatively, and she was there every step of the way to offer tips and insights. Creating stunning cyanotypes in the historic setting of Ilkley Manor House added a special touch that made the workshop even more memorable. It was a perfect blend of art, history, and fun—a must-try for anyone interested in learning something new!''

WHY CHOOSE SHORT & FEW?

EXPERIENCED WORKSHOP FACILITATOR
I have been running workshops since 2021 from my own dedicated studio as well as various venues around West Yorkshire, coupled with over nine year's experience as a qualified art tutor in the Life Long Learning Sector. My experience of facilitating workshops covers children and families, community groups, learners with barrier and disabilities, adults and seasoned artists.


SESSIONS TAILORED TO YOUR AIMS
My core workshops are in bookmaking, lino printing and cyanotypes, with variations and combinations of them available. All workshops can be adapted and customised to meet the needs of your audience and charity or business objectives.

CONFIDENT AND ENTHUSIASTIC

I am a passionate advocate of the arts for all, and deliver all of my workshops with the aim to inspire, empower and educate. I bring knowledge, ideas, encouragement and a critically-engaging, holistic pedagogy.

FULLY EQUIPPED & INSURED 

All workshops from my menu come with all materials and equipment, only requiring access to electricity, water, tables and chairs. I am well-practiced in a speedy set up and pack down, and will always meet with you in advance to ensure all preparations are in place and as expected.
