I am Lucy. I am an outdoor experience facilitator with a passion for connecting people to the natural world through creativity, craft, and fire. My workshops invite participants to step outside, slow down, and rediscover the richness of working with foraged materials — whether that’s weaving with wild plants, cooking over a fire kindled from scratch, or crafting with clay, fungus, or recycled finds.

My path has always been rooted in making. With a degree in Craft & Design (Metals) I spent many years working with metal creating jewellery and sculpture.

As much as I loved working with metal, I made a turning point over a decade ago: In an effort to make my artisitic practise more environmentally friendly, I set aside precious metals and committed myself to working only with recycled or naturally found materials. Since then, I’ve experimented widely, from transforming discarded plastics into artworks, to testing the possibilities of wild clay, plant fibres, natural dyes, fungus-based “leathers,” and handmade papers.

Alongside my practice as an artist, I hold a Masters in Environmental Science, which deepens my approach to sustainability and resilience. Since moving to Scotland over ten years ago, I've been exercising my right to roam I’ve immersed myself in learning about the land — foraging, preserving, dyeing, and extracting oils from wild plants, and folding that knowledge into my teaching.

Safety and stewardship are central to my work. I’m Woodland Activity Leader Training (WALT) certified, and hold an Outdoor First Aid qualification, ensuring that my sessions are not only inspiring but also safe and supportive.

At heart, I aim to create experiences that reconnect people with ancient skills, ecological awareness, and the joy of making with what the earth provides.
