Alice Andrea Ewing
I am an artist and a founder-sculptor
Alice Andrea Ewing is an artist and a founder-sculptor with a foundry and studio in Suffolk. She studied Art History at Cambridge University before training to cast in the Italian or Renaissance Lost Wax process. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, collaborated with fashion label Loewe, and produced commissions for Aldourie Castle, The Newt in Somerset and Soho Farmhouse. In 2015 she established The Portable Foundry Project, designing creative educational programmes to encourage confidence in young people through engagement with sculpture and foundry activities. She has also designed and delivered a number of well-being and mental health programmes connected to the Arts. These include pilot programmes for Suffolk Art Link and NHS Primary Care Personalised Care Programmes. She has Mental Health first aid training and a foundation in Psychotherapy and Counselling.
Poppy Stevens
Lover of words, tea, cake and cows!
Poppy Stevens is a community arts practitioner, poet and performer. Her writing has been commissioned and published by The National Centre for Writing, The Young Norfolk Arts Trust, TOAST Poetry, BBC Radio Norfolk & Suffolk & Atrium poetry. Poppy works within the community delivering creative workshops to a diverse range of people. Her work with children spans from EYFS to Key Stage 4 both in schools, alternative provisions and community settings. Poppy runs a regular dyslexia inclusive writing club. These courses focus on taking the fear out of reading and writing and instead celebrate imagination, creativity and storytelling. As someone with dyslexia Poppy understands the importance of creating non judgemental spaces for neurodivergent young people to express their ideas.
Joel Millerchip
Illustrator and artist.
I’m Joel Millerchip, an artist, ADHD thinker, illustrator and tattooist-in-the-making. Born in Birmingham, blossoming in Suffolk. My distinctive illustrative style is perfect for bold, impactful designs that work perfectly in print, on a wall, on a screen or all over your left leg. I also Lecture and support creative workshops with young people.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
