“Alice helped us host a wonderful Wellbeing Day community event at the museum, running a fantastic workshop as part of which participants were encouraged to create their own mini textile sculptures to take away as objects that bring them comfort. The results were beautiful and the feedback from participants highlighted how enjoyable and therapeutic they found the experience. Alice was a real pleasure to work with from beginning to end; from her ideas and suggestions, to her planning and preparation, all the way to her warm, patient and supportive delivery. She contributed immensely to the Wellbeing Day being the wholesome, creative and relaxing experience we aimed for, and we cannot wait to work with her again!”

“I was incredibly impressed by Alice’s enthusiasm and professionalism in preparing and delivering the workshop making Textile Accessories at Leighton House. I was happy to see how quickly she found herself at home in our learning centre, from setting up the space and welcoming participants with warmth and excitement. I was particularly impressed by the research she had made on items in our own museum collection prior to the session, and how she included this knowledge in her presentation to ground the learning in our space. The participants thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and were proud over all the new techniques that they had learnt at the end of the day. We feel very excited by our collaboration with Alice Burnhope, and hope to find many more opportunities to work together again in the future."

Victoria Shearing - Project Manager

"Collaborating with Alice on our community nature-connected co-creation exhibition, exploring Lewisham’s growing green spaces, has been an extraordinary journey. Alice's deep understanding of both art, textiles and nature brought a unique and inspiring perspective to the project.

From the outset, Alice demonstrated an exceptional ability to engage our community, encouraging participation and fostering a deep connection with the natural environment. Her innovative approach to showcasing Lewisham’s green spaces through a co-created exhibition not only highlighted the beauty and importance of these areas but also inspired a collective sense of stewardship and pride for Lewisham’s greenspaces and what plants, gardens and gardening means to the participants.

The exhibition itself was a resounding success, beautifully capturing the essence of our local green spaces and the community’s personal relationship with them. Alice’s creativity and dedication were evident in every piece, making the exhibition both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.

We are immensely grateful for Alice’s contribution and highly recommend her for any project that seeks to blend art, community engagement, and environmental awareness. Their work has left a lasting impact on Lewisham, and we look forward to future collaborations."

"Alice helped us host several embroidery workshops to celebrate the launch of one of our new collections. We had amazing feedback from our guests who had a brilliant time creating their own embroidery masterpieces under Alice’s guidance. Alice is knowledgeable, calm and professional but also very fun and a real pleasure to work with – we would recommend her in a heartbeat and are already hoping to plan more events with her."

"Thank you so much Alice. Alice is an inspiring artist who has not only taught me new embroidery skills, but she has also given me fantastic ideas to see how embroidery can be more than words and pictures - it can be abstract and art in itself. The appliqué was really fun to learn and I hope to try it at home now. I thoroughly enjoyed learning with Alice and would recommend a workshop with her to anyone."

Simon Hooper

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Natural Dye Workshop. I've never worked with natural dyes before and it was great to share this creative experience with my daughter. Alice has put together a really well thought out afternoon. 2.5 hours flew by. A very good mix of explaining and demonstrating new techniques and getting hands on and practical. Loved it!"
