Who we are
Hi, I’m Sophie, the founder of Pop Up Paint Pot! I’m passionate about creating art and love sharing that joy with others.
I started Pop Up Paint Pot as a way to explore my ideas around community, creativity, and connection. I believe that everyone deserves a space to be creative, express themselves, and feel part of something.
Pop Up Paint Pot is my way of combining everything I care about: art, people, and inclusive, joyful workshops that are open to all.
I bring a strong background in both education and the arts to my work. I'm a trained secondary school art teacher with experience in designing and delivering creative learning experiences for a wide range of ages and abilities. I currently work in museum education, where I develop and lead engaging, accessible programmes that inspire curiosity and creativity. I hold an enhanced DBS check, public liability insurance, and I’m trained in first aid, so you can be confident that all workshops are delivered in a safe, supportive environment.
Creating inclusive, welcoming workshops is really important to me, and it’s something I’m continually working to develop. I recently took part in the Royal Society for Blind Children’s Making Activities Inclusive training, and I’m always looking for ways to improve and learn. I believe that everyone should feel comfortable, supported, and able to take part in creative experiences. To help with this, I’ve created a feedback form where people can share thoughts, suggestions, or advice – you can find it here. All feedback is genuinely appreciated and helps me make Pop Up Paint Pot better for everyone.
My Artwork
Take a look at my artwork and the creative projects I enjoy. With a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Crafts, I’ve developed a diverse skill set and a passion for working across a wide range of mediums. Whether it's hands-on traditional techniques or more experimental approaches, I enjoy exploring new ways to express ideas through craft and design. My portfolio reflects a journey of creativity, curiosity, and craftsmanship—there’s always something new in the making.
