Same Difference Festival 2026 was one of the most vibrant, youth‑driven celebrations Wolverhampton has ever hosted. Delivered by Wolverhampton CEP, the festival transformed West Park into a day‑long explosion of movement, music, performance, and creativity — all shaped by young people from across the city.

The relaunch of Bilston Outdoor Market marked an exciting new chapter for one of the town’s most historic community spaces. To celebrate the reopening, the City of Wolverhampton Council invited me, along with my brilliant creative workshop partner Vicky Crowther, to deliver a single, large‑scale family workshop that would create a collaborative artwork for future display at the market.

Bilston Carnival 2026 was one of those days where everything felt alive — colour, music, heritage, and community all woven together in Hickman Park. As part of the City Council’s events programme, I delivered three free family workshops alongside my long‑time creative workshop partner, Vicky Crowther.

Armed Forces Day 2026 was a gentle, meaningful celebration in West Park, full of pride, gratitude, and family connection. This year, I delivered two workshops for the City of Wolverhampton Council, designed to help children engage with themes of service, compassion, and remembrance in a creative, accessible way.

Commissioned as part of the Wolverhampton City of Youth Culture Arts Trail, this mural was co‑created with young people over a programme of immersive workshops that explored identity, fashion, music, and cultural shifts across the decades.

Half‑term at Wolverhampton Art Gallery was alive with imagination as families joined me to create their own Guardian Beasts — creatures of courage, kindness, and creativity.

On the day of the UK Recovery Walk, I had the joy of running a drop-in tote bag workshop at the Recovery Village—a creative space nestled within a day of celebration, solidarity, and strength.

As part of Wolverhampton’s Recovery Month celebrations, I was invited to run a tote bag workshop at the Art Gallery’s Friday Lates event—a vibrant evening of art, storytelling, and shared strength, hosted by The Good Shepherd and SUIT.

Thanks to Arts Council England funding secured by Kate at The Good Shepherd, I had the quiet honour of leading a series of summer workshops with young people aged 14+ from Wolverhampton 360. Held at Wolverhampton Arts Centre, these sessions were part of a wider programme preparing for Recovery Month and the UK Recovery Walk.

As part of the Care, Create, Conserve project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, I had the privilege of working with Corey, John, Matt, and Sally—members of Wolverhampton’s Service User Involvement Team (SUIT)—to explore healthcare heritage through a creative lens.
