Emma
Creativity is at the heart of everything I do. As an experienced secondary teacher specialising in additional support needs, I’m dedicated to helping others find their own artistic voice. I’m an all-round creative who loves working across a wide range of medium, if it involves making, I’m interested.
I also bring that passion into my work as a part-time nail technician, creating fun, unique, and expressive nail designs.
Outside of art, I’m a bit of a crazy cat lady, a lover of bright hair, and a big fan of tattoos—because life’s too short not to be colourful.
Ally
I’m a co-founder of Bonnie ‘n’ Braw, where I co-design and host art and design workshops for both kids and adults. I grew up in Ayrshire, but my creative journey has taken me a fair bit further afield.
After moving to London, I spent several years working across film, TV, and theatre, where I developed a real love for storytelling and all things visual. In my 20s, I swapped city life for adventure and ended up living in South Korea for a few years, that’s where I discovered my passion for teaching and arts education.
Since then, I’ve spent nearly a decade working as an art teacher, helping people tap into their creativity, build confidence, and (hopefully) have a bit of fun along the way.
I’m a big believer that creativity isn’t just about making things look nice, it’s a powerful way to express yourself, learn new skills, and unwind when life gets a bit hectic.
When I’m not teaching or planning workshops, you’ll usually find me doing soemthings artsy or DIY, exploring new places, hanging with the fam, but more likely I'll be hunting down something really good to eat.
