I'm Mairi, and I love running workshops!

 

I'm the face behind Mairi Collins Jewellery, and I love helping people of all ages and abilities learn new skills.

 

I have 6+ years experience of community engagement and workshops in all kinds of exciting venues! I have an active PVG certificate and experience working with assisted needs groups of children and adults.

If your event needs an enthusiastic fan of art, design and science, check out my previous experience and get in touch here
