I provide a relaxing environment and a friendly approach for you to explore a range of art workshops that will unleash your creativity, relax your mind and aid your overall feeling of calm and wellbeing
I love sharing my creativity with you, through drawing, painting, screen printing and art workshops
Hello. My name is Jenni and I’m a surface pattern artist and art tutor, running a range of workshops across Staffordshire.
My artwork is inspired by nature, the outdoors. and sometimes food. We are real foodies in our household!
I work from my studio at home to create original artwork which is made into beautiful paper and homeware products. They are contemporary, high quality materials and made of sustainable materials from companies I work with in the UK.
Upcoming workshops
I offer art workshops, painting and prosecco events and drawing classes, providing guidance and support to learn new skills and art techniques in a creative and social space for people to connect with art or craft and create a finished piece to take home.
More workshops to be added throughout the year.

Join Jenni Stone on this lino printing workshop to print beautiful botanical relief prints using a soft lino sheet.
Jenni will demonstrate how you can carve away the areas of your lino that you don’t want to print using a range of carving tools. There will be demonstrations and useful carving and printing tips to print the Lino plate by hand.
The theme is botanical flowers and plants. You can trace or draw from visual ideas or bring your own ideas to design and transfer onto your Lino plate. You’ll experiment with colours, inking, and you’ll finish the workshop with beautiful one-off prints that will be printed on A4 or A5 paper.
The workshop is held from 2-5pm on Saturday 25th April, at Yarny Bees, 69 Upper St John Street, Lichfield, WS14 9DT.
The workshop will be led by Jenni Stone, a Lichfield-based artist with printing experience in Lino and screen print.
The workshop is open to everyone, whether you have no experience of printing or some prior experience. All equipment provided, step-by-step instructions and support.
And of course, there will be plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits!

About me
My range of work is always evolving from my love of drawing, painting and print making and it’s always lovingly made
I have always loved drawing and went to art college and trained as a Surface Pattern Designer at Staffordshire University in 2000, where I first began screen printing which I have included in to some of my artwork today!
I spent 10 years living in the South West, living and working in Bristol, then Barry in South Wales with my partner before we moved to Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Deciding my next steps after becoming a mum, I took on a teaching role at a local college to promote well being through art projects. I like to bring joy to people through my teaching to help build confidence through art, which led to hosting art workshops to adults and children in different venues in Lichfield, Staffordshire and surrounding areas.
In 2020, I developed my own art practice from home. I began sourcing product ideas and suppliers to be able to put out a range of homeware products and greeting cards and prints. I have developed the range and stock to shops, selling at artisan markets and my online shop.
