Creative learning experiences

Creative workshops & sensory art programs for museums and schools

I create projects that invite people to slow down, look closely and engage with art through making. By combining illustration, tactile materials and storytelling, I encourage curiosity, imagination and shared experiences.

Workshops

Dream Cat Workshop

Participants create tactile illustrations or sensory objects that invite calm and become part of a shared sensory space. Inspired by the Space to Relax and Create installation at Polin Museum in Warsaw, participants create tactile illustrations using fabrics, textures and collage, exploring storytelling through both sight and touch.

Puppetry Workshop
Students design, build and perform with an original puppet character, culminating in a collaborative performance. Developed as part of the Grade 6 MYP Theatre Arts curriculum at the American School of Warsaw.

Inspired by fabrics, felt, buttons, ribbons and found materials, students create expressive characters and explore how movement, voice and storytelling bring them to life.

The Adventures of Sindbad the Seafarer

Participants create original paper puppet characters inspired by an illustrated edition of The Adventures of Sindbad the Seafarer by Bolesław Leśmian in its first translation to English.

Inspired by Bolesław Leśmian's celebrated re-imagining of the Arabian Nights, the project explores how stories travel across cultures and continue to inspire new acts of imagination.

Using paper puppets and simple geometric shapes, participants create imaginative characters and stories while exploring literature, visual storytelling and intercultural connections.
