Workshops for Creatives
Hire us to facilitate your group, team or students.
We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to make design education accessible to everybody. By providing tools and support to disadvantaged young people who are passionate about design, but may not have had the same access to higher education or creative networks, we aim to positively influence our industry.
If this is something you are interested in supporting, please get in touch.

Workshop testimonials
“Ewa brought something different – she was engaging, warm and personable. We all got the distinct impression that Ewa didn’t want to safeguard the secrets to the design industry, instead she felt like more of a mentor.
With an impressive back catalogue of design work she spoke of successes and challenges, giving us a clearer picture of our careers post university. Followed up by workshops that felt joyful and showed us a real love for design – which 60% through third year, we all needed!
Ewa is an asset to design education, her love for the industry and passion to teach should be a lesson to all that attempt to gate-keep the secrets from graduates. ”
— Abbie Ingleby, graduate
“I will always be particularly grateful to Ewa for taking the time to sit and go through my portfolio with me, offering advice and guidance with unfailing patience. ”
— ual graduate
“Ewa took the brief of connecting our third year students to experimental making practices and ran with it! Her student-centred preparation, focus and approach meant there was an instant rapport building from the workshop design through to its delivery.
Post Covid our third-year students needed to understand making again almost from scratch and build confidence in their ability to play and experiment. Ewa’s workshops were instrumental in bringing this back to our course.”
— David Barnett, Head of Graphic Design at Chelsea College of Art (UAL).
