Consultant & Facilitator
Teaching Artist, Workshop Facilitator and Creativity Expert
Michelle Weiner is a printmaker and textile artist. Her work captures familiar childhood scenes and natural environments, immortalising the tranquil, tender and fleeting moments that permeate the fabric of our everyday lives. Her work has been included in many galleries and installations including the Royal Academy in London.
With a background in theatre design and a master’s degree from Central Saint Martins, Michelle is an experienced workshop designer and facilitator, offering creative away-days for businesses looking to offer their teams the opportunity to connect with their creativity at work. The workshops offer a new (and possibly unfamiliar) activity that takes individuals out of the responsibilities of daily working life and away from established group dynamics. By engaging in a new activity as a group, colleagues can discover more about each other.
The workshops nurture artistic sensibilities, cultivate creative insight, and allow for self-expression, as well as, provide attendees with time to de-compress from the more demanding tasks of the day. A fundamental philosophy of this programme is art is for everyone and by engaging the creative mind — the ability to make connections between unrelated things and imagine new ways to communicate — businesses can contribute to positive employee social and emotional health and the improve the wellbeing of their working community.
