Welcome to EcoCreatives, art workshops that seek to bring the joy of creating to all ages, help like-minded individuals meet and learn new creative skills, all the while using materials that are as environmentally-friendly as possible.Meet the artist: While formally trained as an Illustrator, graduated in 2023, Eloise Gibb would define herself as a ‘try it all’ artist, and enjoys nothing more than exploring all sorts of mediums, from lino printing, watercolour painting to sculpture.Her practice is inevitably intwined with a passion for sustainability and the boundless inspiration that can be drawn from Nature. As such, alongside more traditional media Eloise also experiments with pressed flower Art, Natural dying and crafts tied to natural and sustainable living.Through volunteering with local charities and working with arts organisations, Eloise discovered an affinity for teaching and has run creative workshops with groups of all ages, from children to senior Adults.EcoCreatives was born from the desire to share with others the joy of creating along with it’s therapeutic values, as well as encouraging a more sustainable art practise, limiting single use plastics and taking inspiration from nature.“Take a leap, join a workshop and become an EcoCreative in your own right. I think you’ll find that pushing past the barriers you have set yourself - or others have set before you - learning and creating alongside like-minded folk will give you more joy than you can imagine.”
