Tasha Bee (She/Her)
Tasha is a community artist with a passion for using the powers of creativity to aid wellbeing and social connection. She loves to discover new creative processes and bring people together to share, create and PLAY! With a background of working with vulnerable groups in the community, she believes strongly that art-making should be accessible to everyone, and wants to bring a healthy dose of creative play to people of all ages, abilites and backgrounds (in a world that can feel far too serious at times)
Tasha has been hosting creative workshops for the past 7 years and enjoys creating a warm, welcoming environment where creativity can thrive. She likes to encourage everyone to have a go at something new, and loves to see what you create!
Gemma Gale (She/Her)
Gemma found her love of Macrame when her plant obsession grew beyond the means of her apartment (and her housemate had to put her under house-plant arrest!) ... curious about all things crafty, she loves the mindful element of macrame and the calming effect it can have. Gemma has been sharing her love of the craft and running Macrame workshops for 2 years and has unravelled the process into a series of basic steps that can be mastered by all.
