Paint, mess and happy accidents.
I'm Rachel. I paint, sew and make things by hand, and I teach people to get their art materials out and simply have a play.
You don't need a plan or a studio to start creating art. You just need permission to play.
In Permission to Play we'll explore tools, marks, colour, grids and collage, one step at a time, until you're making a small series of your own. Happy accidents are welcome.

Hi, I'm Rachel
I have always loved making things by hand: painting, crafting, sewing. If it's an arty activity, I'm up for it. Putting paint on paper, making marks and choosing colours is endlessly satisfying to me.
I'm originally from London and went to art college in the 90s. I like to use a bit of everything in my work, mix things up and make up my own rules.
As a recovering perfectionist, I'm finding so much joy in the messy middle: not having a plan, not knowing where my hands are taking me, and learning from the bits that go wrong.
These days I paint in my bedroom, run a textile side to my business, and hope to inspire you to get your art materials out and simply have a play.
