  • Thank you so much for being part of Alton Arts Festival Schools Programme 2026. Your creativity, warmth and infectious enthusiasm inspired so many children to explore, experiment and imagine in ways they may never have experienced before. Watching them become inventors, makers and problem solvers through your Art Bots and Paper Sculpting workshops was such a joy, and you created an environment where every child felt they could have a go. You have a wonderful gift for making creativity feel exciting and full of possibility, and the impact of your sessions, I'm sure, goes beyond the classroom. Thank you for saying yes and believing in the schools programme.

  • Working with Emma on our RHS Learning Creativity Day was a real game changer. From the very first chat, she listened closely and shaped everything around our goals. On the day, her facilitation was warm, purposeful and grounded in creative pedagogy, she built a safe, high-energy space where everyone felt able to contribute. We left with fresh ideas and practical prototypes to implement in our RHS workshops. Emma blends sharp educational insight with joyful, hands-on making, and you can feel the impact.

  • We attended one of Emma's Nature Bot workshops today, and it was fantastic! My son (who is neurodivergent) was so incredibly excited! Emma was incredibly welcoming, calm and incredibly attentive towards our son. It was the first time I also felt at ease at a children's workshop, with absolutely no anxiety! My son has been happily playing with his bot and dreaming up new robots all day. We will be coming back and booking a party in the future. Thank you so much, Emma, you've made something truly special!

  • "Absolutely the most incredible and inspiring way to spend an afternoon with children, making magical art with Emma. My kids were completely immersed for hours. We came to the morning workshop and then came back again for the afternoon."

  • Working with Emma has been a genuinely positive experience. She has a wonderful ability to take an initial idea and shape it into a creative, meaningful and engaging learning experience. Her advice is thoughtful, practical and sensitive to the needs of different ages and audiences. Emma has been a valuable creative partner to Takween, bringing fresh ideas, asking the right questions and helping us strengthen both the educational purpose and participant experience of our programmes.
