CRAFTING HAPPINESS

In 2023/24 I collaborated with Thai maker Ratchanok Ketboonruang to create a new international network bringing together creative practitioners in Scotland and Thailand to highlight the role of craft and making for health and well being. Our project has been supported with funding from the British Council Thailand, Connections Through Culture, with a second round of funding secured to research the role of social prescribing in promoting creative activities for improving physical and mental health.

Below is a sculptural porcelain work, Evanesce, which explores the connections that are both made and lost through dementia.
