HampshireHi 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.

HampshireI am a writer and a visual artist. I am passionate about intersectional inclusion and my practice supports people to express their identities and experiences through creative writing and visual art.
I believe that story-telling through words and images is a powerful tool for building and strengthening communities.
My skills include workshop facilitation, and event and project planning and management. I focus on creating inclusive communities, whether for a one off workshop or a long term plan.
If you want to ignite imaginations and inspire empathy, I am ready to work with you.
I am also a post graduate researcher in Creative Writing at the University of Portsmouth.
