Business name: Hyppanie Essence and Felt
Hyppanie was the name the children gave me in the Himalayas when I travelled in India, in 1997.
In 2000, My passion for Colour Therapy lead me to attend the City and Guild Felt making course in London taught by Lizzie Houghton. I found that the wonderful quality of Wool and colours permitted me to create bespoke useful items and made me feel good about myself and what I could achieve. It gave me great confidence to enrol in a teaching course, to share my passion. I now cater for primary schools and Language schools around Brighton and Hove.
I run after school workshops and all-year groups workshops. Up to 30 students per class. My sessions answer the schools needs for creativity for all the taught topics and allow every child -who might think they are not very artistic- to actually create a great piece of Art.
In 2020, I took part in The AntiMA program, TheAntiMA is a peer lead, collaborative arts education program based in Brighton. it's a collective- The AntiMA-, a group of emerging artists, and we are inviting curators to come and work with us.
In 2022, I tailor needle felt workshops for adults, Felt a Fanny with Stephanie, it is a very popular workshop, for individuals, birthdays, hen's parties....
