Teaching

Jordyn, Yellowknife NWT

“Sophie is a natural facilitator and connector. In her workshops, she embodies her passion for the arts as she leads inspiring exercises and discussions. The environment she creates is inviting and uplifting, drawing in even the most shy or reluctant participant. When I attended one of her first workshops, she taught movement with creative writing, welcoming people in who were seasoned artists and complete beginners alike. The workshop was designed seamlessly, blending ideas from both disciplines and helping us generate ideas and collaborating on our pieces before we knew it. I would easily attend anything taught by Sophie if I had the opportunity!“

workshops and classes, taught with care and experience

I fell into teaching by default of being a freelance artist and I discovered I am actually pretty good at it.

My pedagogy stems from years of teaching all ages, crafting my own lessons and my education through two degrees, while learning from my students.

I work with the individual above all else, no matter the class size. Getting in touch with personal emotions, creative expression and exploration of self is at the core of what I strive to develop with students and collaborators.
