Collaborations

I collaborate with arts and heritage organisations to create original artworks and events.

My offerings include: bespoke biscuit artworks, practical biscuit art workshops for all ages (virtual/in person), public talks on design history and biscuit art, biscuit art tutorials and recipes, live demonstrations, and artist residencies.

Here are some of my past projects. If you would like to discuss a possible future collaboration, you can contact me via this form.

British Library

I worked with the British Library to create a biscuit set in celebration of their 50th birthday.

Each biscuit depicts an item from one of the British Library’s six core collection areas: stamps, newspapers, manuscripts, printed materials, maps, and sounds.

You can see the biscuit set in full here. Find out more about the collection items featured in the set here.

Milton’s Cottage

Milton’s Cottage is the house in Chalfont St Giles where John Milton completed Paradise Lost.

I was invited by Milton’s Cottage to make a set of biscuits inspired by some of the rare books and artefacts in their extensive collections. For National Biscuit Day 2023, I spent an afternoon in Chalfont St Giles showing visitors how to create biscuit art inspired by collection items.

You can find my Milton’s Cottage biscuit set here.

Crawford Art Gallery: Meat and Potatoes

I completed a 3-day residency at Crawford Art Gallery (Cork) in July 2022 as part of an exhibition titled Meat and Potatoes. During my time at the gallery, I created a set of biscuits inspired by artworks featuring in the exhibition.

The biscuits remained on display as an exhibit in Meat and Potatoes, which ran from 16 July until 6 November 2022. You can see photographs of the biscuits here.

National Biscuit Day

To mark National Biscuit Day in 2022, I led a series of workshops at Reading Museum and at The MERL. These family-friendly events invited attendees to create their own edible art inspired by Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin designs.

Part of a programme of events and activities that celebrated 200 years of biscuit heritage in the town of Reading. Visit this page to find out more about the Biscuit Town: 200 Years of Huntley & Palmers in Reading exhibition at The MERL. 

David Parr House

David Parr was a working-class Victorian decorative artist who painted the walls of his modest terraced home with intricate Arts & Crafts patterns.

I worked with the David Parr House to design a biscuit set inspired by the interiors of the artist’s home, and ran related biscuit-decorating workshops on Zoom.

You can find the biscuit set here and a narrated video of the making process here.

Jane Austen’s House: Creatives in Residence

Between October and December 2021, I was Artist in Residence at Jane Austen’s House. This project involved creating a series of biscuit artworks inspired by Jane Austen’s life, works, and legacy.
