Autumnal watercolour workshop at Walmer Castle

Meet Eloise!

Hello, my name is Eloise Gibb. I studied Illustration at Middlesex University while volunteering for the Dover Smart Project, a charity that runs weekly art groups for older adults and young carers. Although I gained valuable knowledge during my degree, it was through my voluntary work that I discovered my true passion for community art and helping others find joy in the creative process. After graduating with a First in 2023, I continued volunteering for the charity while also working as a freelance artist and workshop leader for Future Foundry, a youth art organisation based in Dover.

Following three years of volunteering with Smart Art, I began running workshops under the name Ecocreatives. This venture allows me to combine my skills as an art workshop leader and teacher with my passion for sustainable living, as I experiment with eco-friendly materials and create art inspired by nature. In my personal practice, I am particularly drawn to watercolour painting and linocut printing, but I also enjoy working with a wide range of mediums, including acrylics, gouache, and even digital art. Additionally, I create 3D work using air-dry clay and papier-mâché.
