Emma Paxton

I work for INTO, the International National Trusts Organisation, to protect cultural heritage and promote sustainable development globally. With a background in heritage advocacy and international collaboration, I bring a passion for connecting people and places. Living in Hampshire, I’m inspired by its rich cultural landscape and committed to ensuring that creativity and heritage are accessible, inclusive, future-facing (and occasionally muddy).

Commotion Dance are united by the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to experience dance and are committed to adhering to this ethos. Creating imaginative performative experiences for babies, toddlers, children and families.

Hi I’m Kelly, a resin crafter (Resin Expectations), author (Beyond the Ordinary, Crafting in a Crisis, and Selling at Craft Events – A beginners Guide) and director of The Crafters Collective – Princes Mead Farnborough. As a female, neurodivergent, creative business owner, my mission is to help people be their authentic selves. Whether that’s with my creations – inspired by goth, fantasy and steampunk genres – or giving other crafters a space to sell their work, and express themselves through their creations, I want to make the benefits of creativity accessible to all. Crafting has been a focus throughout my life, whenever things have been difficult, and I want to share its mental health benefits with everyone.
