About Me
I absolutely love leading workshops for the crafty hen, they are so much fun and there is always a lot of laughter each session! I've met some lovely people and find it inspirational to see the unique things each participant makes.
My Favourite Things
I live by the sea and enjoy long beach walks, I also can't resist a good book and I absolutely love to cook. I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people and I do a lot of this through my freelance theatre work as a puppeteer and musician and through my work as a creative workshop leader for the crafty hen team!
My Area of Expertise
I'm a bit of an all rounder but sculpture, paper cutting and textile work are the main areas. I have a background in theatre and music. I work predominantly as a puppeteer and puppet maker and this involves all sorts of techniques such as 3D sculpture, woodcarving, papercutting, drawing & painting, sewing, beading and making all manner of small props.

“Just wanted to give a bit of feedback and say a massive thank you to Gemma. She was absolutely fabulous and everybody thoroughly loved the workshop. Gemma was so kind and helpful, and it was really lovely for her to be part of the Hens special day! She made us all feel comfortable and confident in what we were doing, and we all ended up with beautiful wreaths to remember the day. She really is an asset to your team and we’d definitely consider using The Crafty Hen again for future events based on the lovely day we all had. ”
“It was lovely to just sit and create. The demonstrations were clear and Gemma and Verity were very helpful and had some great ideas!”
“Gemma is amazing! We had great fun & I’ll wear my garter tonight at cocktail making.”
