Meet Your Artist Facilitators
Morning Session – Tallulah Lines
The super talented Tallulah Lines will be leading the morning session. Tallulah is a muralist and visual artist, founder of Las Iluministas and co-director of Pink-collar Gallery.
She leads workshops and public art projects with a strong focus on social justice themes, working across a wide range of materials and with participants of all ages — from children to adults. Her practice is rooted in community engagement and collective creativity, regularly exploring identity, place, and shared storytelling through accessible making processes.

Afternoon Session – Bettie Hope
Bettie Hope is a textile artist and creative facilitator whose practice spans sustainable making, fashion, surface design, and community arts.
Through her project Thistle & Moonlace, she explores flower growing, natural processes, and regenerative approaches to creative practice, developing work rooted in sustainability, care, and imagination. Her practice focuses on working with nature in respectful, low-impact ways, using peat-free growing methods and seasonal, mindful approaches to materials.
She also curates inclusive creative events including makers markets, exhibitions, life drawing sessions, and community workshops, bringing people together through accessible and empowering creative practice.
Come along, connect with others, and enjoy a welcoming space for creativity, expression, and wellbeing.
Spaces are limited to keep sessions small and supportive — book early to avoid disappointment.
