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 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.
