Maggie Rose

I have 30 plus years experience developing, designing and making hands-on, interactive and educational exhibits for Museums and Science Centres. I now have my own business offering consultancy in the field and designing and producing exhibits. My experience includes, concept design, exhibit development and prototyping, evaluation and feasibility assessment, production and install. It is a wonderfully interesting and enjoyable mission. I have also developed an interactive donation box for museums and science centres that amuses and informs the visitors as they make their generous donations.  

I am an actor, writer, director and workshop leader based in Salisbury. As an actor I have worked for over 20 years in theatre, touring nationally and also in the West End. I am currently developing a play called ‘Becoming Simone’ with Mayflower Studios, Forest Forge and Stage Door. In 2023 I wrote and produced a short film, ‘Living Loud’. This was selected for screening at Portsmouth Short Cuts Festival. I am also a Presentation and Communication coach, having worked across many sectors including finance, Ed Tech and charities. I have also designed and led training in communication using roleplay as a learning tool.

I’m a Fleet-based Craft Business Strategist, multidisciplinary maker and creative facilitator, with a specialism in textiles and yarn-based crafts and over 25 years of making & business experience. I work with craft & creative business owners to build sustainable income through smarter visibility and multiple revenue streams. I also run art and craft workshops, I call Creative Wilding™️ , helping busy adults find calm & fulfilment by reconnecting & nurturing their creativity through slow crafts & art making. I’m a qualified primary school teacher with a Textile Design degree from Winchester School of Art and have worked in educational publishing alongside my craft business, creative practice and arts facilitation.
