Hi, I'm Tamsin, an artist, designer, and teacher. The Purple Cottage Studio is my creative space where I teach and create original artwork, encouraging others to discover their own creative voice. The Purple Cat Brand is inspired by Molly & Milo and brings my illustrations to life as playful, practical products for everyday use. Across both brands, I create warm, approachable art that inspires creativity and joy—because art belongs everywhere, not just on walls.

All lessons will be held in the Purple Cottage Studio in Halstead, Essex
