Testimonials
Jennifer has worked with Fresh Arts since 2019 as an artist, facilitator, and project manager; she is valued and respected member of our artists team. Jennifer has worked with our patients and staff and supported people with long term chronic health conditions to find pleasure, relaxation, and distraction through creativity and to re-ignite a creative spark which may have faded due to coping with ill health. Jennifer is committed to making activities accessible, her sessions are relaxed yet focused and participant feedback has always been positive. In my experience, Jennifer is always well prepared, has considered and planned activities from all angles, she is always reliable and professional in her approach and it’s a pleasure to work with and alongside her; in short, Jennifer is an inspiration! Donna Baber, Fresh Arts
Jennifer worked with the Bristol ReUse Network to research how we might re-use textiles. She was full of ideas and tackled the materials with enthusiasm, quickly coming up with several designs for draught excluders and cushions which looked stunning – amazing considering all the materials would have otherwise been thrown away. Jennifer then led a public workshop, showing people how to use these materials to make her lovely designs – the feedback was great, participants were absolutely delighted with the skills they learnt, and their finished products. We would definitely book Jennifer again. Jessica Hodge, Bristol ReUse
My sewing skills have always been limited by a lack of confidence and an impatience to get the thing finished. Jennifer is a patient, encouraging and generous teacher who delights in sharing her considerable textile skills. Nancy, Bristol
I thoroughly enjoyed my two hour lesson with Jennifer. I was very pleased and impressed with the amount I learned in that time. I can, at last, problem solve sewing machine tension issues and mistakes I made with threading the machine, which had previously frustrated me. I also acquired new skills, enabling me to finish making a dress I started last year. Lisa, Bristol
Jennifer works very closely with her clients to ensure that they have a truly bespoke item that speaks of them, whilst being of exceptional quality, as well as one of a kind. Whilst working with us at Incredible Edible Bristol she has forged forward with creative ideas and produced us a piece of wonderful, sewn artwork that speaks of us and all that we stand for whilst being beautiful in itself. I would recommend Jennifer to all. Sara Venn, Incredible Edible Bristol
