About Kate

I am a Community Arts Practitioner and set up ‘The Craft Junction’ in Bridgend, South Wales in 2018 after an 18 year career teaching Design and Technology both in the UK and abroad.

I am currently studying an MA in Arts Practice (Arts for Health and Wellbeing at The University Of South Wales and hope to soon have a registered CIC called ‘Art and Soul’ which will run alongside The Craft Junction and provide a Community Art and Wellbeing Cafe. I have big plans and am determined to help improve the lives of as many people as I can, through creativity.

As a single mother of 2, I lead a busy life but try to make time for cold water swimming, painting and exploring my spirituality, as well as having fun with my children.

I am DBS checked, fully insured and a qualified paediatric first aider.
