I am Janneke - a mum, home educator and craftsperson living in Hartfield.​

​​

I enjoy working in most materials, and specialised in ceramics and metal during my degree in Three-Dimensional Design at Brighton University. However, my life-long love has always been papier mache! 

​

I founded an arts & crafts group for home ed children in 2022, which I still co-run with practising artist Elizabeth Burridge, and we are on a mission to let everyone have a go at drawing, painting, sculpture, sewing, printing, clay, origami and all kinds of other arty projects!

​

I also run occasional specialist workshops. In my groups and workshops, I aim to provide the kind of materials that inspire creativity but with enough space and freedom for each child to follow their own direction.
