Hi, I am Emma Armstrong
I am a qualifued creative arts or health and welbeing facilitator. My work is rooted in a belief that art has the power to transform lives, promote wellbeing, and give every individual — regardless of background or ability — a means of expressing themselves.
I run workshops for a variety of groups and one to one including refugees, wellness days for local companies, charity organisations and carers. I focus on improving self esteem, self confidence, identity, self care and mental health support.
For more than twenty years, I have specialised in supporting people with additional needs and those who have experienced trauma, using creative arts as a gentle and empowering tool for personal growth. I lead a range of community workshops, including printmaking and pottery repair such as kintsugi, creating welcoming spaces where participants can explore art, craft, and heritage at their own pace.
Alongside my facilitation work, I continue to develop my own artistic practice. I enjoy making art, reading, and spending time outdoors, all of which inspire new ideas and directions in my creative work.
I have also taken part in heritage-based creative projects across Great Yarmouth, including research and artistic responses to the town’s historic blue plaques.
