Arts & Crafts... ranging from sculpture in wood and earth and stone to performance, dance and poetry. Together we can build living willow sculpture at your event, school or centre... a turf labyrinth... a sculpture trail... an Iron Age roundhouse... A Saxon long house... A Viking ship... a bread oven... a standing stone or a stone circle... all enriching community and heritage, nature awareness and sense of place, creativity and education.


Expressing oneself can take many forms... sculpture, dance, performance, music, poetry, song, writing, ritual, print, drama and film.... drawing water from all the five streams of the senses and the sacred pool of wisdom at the centre.


As a contemporary artist and musician the ongoing work explores relationships between culture and nature, the journey of the soul, alchemy, folklore and the landscape. Projects include: a hedge labyrinth of laid willow trees. This has an elder tree at the centre; A coracle pilgrimage upon the River Thames, social sculpture inviting prayers for peace from all creeds, colours and classes along the river banks from a spring to the sea in an ecological craft; A ritual medieval style feast of St. Margaret of Antioch in collaboration with artist and food activist Miche Fabre-Lewin; Two Labyrinths- one of turf and tree celebrating the plant kingdom... aligned with another of stone celebrating the mineral kingdom.
