This workshop was an intimate session, where participants worked with ready‑painted discarded plates prepared especially for the day. Using LGBTQ+ affirmation quotes inspired by the landmark book Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin, we created pieces that honoured both the anniversary of this publication and the wider celebrations of LGBTQ+ History Month.
It was a gentle, reflective afternoon — hands busy, minds open, and stories unfolding through colour, text, and reclaimed materials.
The session was a Meet the Artist workshop, designed as a natural extension of the Elevating the Misfit exhibition. Participants arrived for a relaxed and playful afternoon of collage, bringing their own ceramic dishes to upcycle using my techniques.
Guided step‑by‑step, they learned how to paint, apply paper collage, and decorate ceramic surfaces using meaningful texts and imagery drawn from Bruce Castle Museum’s archives — including LGBTQ+ newsletters, posters, flyers, and book and magazine covers from the 1980s onwards. The atmosphere was warm, colourful, and full of curiosity — a joyful way to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month in Haringey through making and conversation.
Invited by Bruce Castle Museum to present a two‑week solo exhibition in the Maker’s Studio, House of Frisson unveiled a new collection of collaged wall plates exploring reinvention, nostalgia, and queer defiance. Each piece began as a discarded ceramic — chipped, unwanted, overlooked — transformed through collage, colour, and layered imagery into vivid, humorous, and quietly rebellious works. The exhibition celebrated the misfit imagination: the objects that refuse to disappear quietly, the relics that return louder, stranger, and more alive than before.
House of Frisson proudly participated in The Well Hung Art Exhibition, a celebration of queer artistry at London's legendary Atlantis Bookshop in Bloomsbury.
As part of the showcase, I exhibited "The Key of Joy is Disobedience", a ceramic wall plate featuring Aleister Crowley, alongside over 40 talented queer artists. The exhibition highlighted themes of identity, rebellion, and creativity, making it an inspiring contribution to Pride Month.
Even before the exhibition opened, 'The Key of Joy is Disobedience' found its home. Purchased by Geraldine Beskin, the owner of The Atlantis Bookshop. The piece was displayed with a red dot, marking its sale while still being part of this incredible showcase.
Collage on Ceramics Workshop at The Trampery Tottenham in collaboration with Haringey Council, this workshop celebrated LGBTQ+ History Month in Haringey. Participants explored my ceramic upcycling techniques, creating vibrant pieces adorned with affirmation slogans and colorful floral designs. It was an inspiring event, blending creativity, sustainability, and community pride.
House of Frisson took part in the Up To No Good collective exhibition at Rich Mix, curated by Bold Mellon. As part of this vibrant showcase, I exhibited my framed print, "I Solemnly Swear That I’m Up To No Good". The piece, rich in bold visuals and rebellious undertones, added to the exhibition's theme of mischievous creativity and daring self-expression.
I facilitated a Collage on Ceramics Workshop at Bruce Castle Museum in collaboration with Haringey Council. This event celebrated Haringey’s rich LGBTQ+ history, as participants learned my unique ceramic upcycling techniques. Together, we transformed ceramic vases into meaningful art pieces by applying archival images of Haringey's LGBTQ+ community from Bruce Castle Museum, blending historical storytelling with hands-on creativity.
As one of the commissioned artists for the Haringey Feast project, I had the honor of contributing to Alexandra Palace's 150th-anniversary celebrations in November 2023.
In collaboration with the LGBTQ+ community, I ran a vibrant workshop at Eade Studios, where participants explored my ceramic upcycling techniques. Together, we transformed platters and bowls into striking art pieces, incorporating collage images and affirmation phrases onto colorful surfaces.
To prepare these creations for their special role at the event, I sealed each piece with a food-safe finish, allowing them to be used as bread holders on the banquet tables during the grand celebration at Alexandra Palace. It was a joy to blend art, community, and sustainability in this historic event.
I was honored to participate in the Queer Joy group exhibition at Stanley Arts, curated by the incredible Bold Mellon. This vibrant and celebratory event showcased the works of talented artists, exploring themes of individuality, positivity, and LGBTQ+ experiences. I exhibited two of my wall plates, crafted to reflect the joy and diversity of self-expression, alongside a collective of inspiring creatives.
I was selected to take part in the pilot London Made Me project, an initiative by the Mayor of London's Creative Enterprise Zone program. Alongside 14 talented artists and makers, I participated in an intensive one-week course designed to foster creativity and entrepreneurial skills.
Following the course, we established a collective shop on Regent Street, where we showcased and traded our art and products throughout November and December 2022. This project was a remarkable opportunity to celebrate London's vibrant creative scene and connect with a wider audience in an iconic location.
