Hannah has lived in the area for the past 12 years, though her connection to this place goes back even further—visiting from Ceredigion regularly as a child when her family exhibited artwork in local galleries. It’s always felt like a creative and inspiring place, and she feels really lucky to now call it home. Hannah is incredibly passionate about making sure the opportunities we create at Hwb y Gors are meaningful, accessible, inclusive and lasting – building a legacy of upskilling, accredited learning, and hands-on experiences that celebrate and protect our endangered heritage crafts, local history and folklore.  Hannah believes deeply in the power of nature connection for well-being and the principles of seasonal living—connecting with the wheel of the year and agricultural rhythms not only supports mental wellbeing but also helps us build stronger relationships with the environment around us. ‘I think everyone has something to offer, and even small steps can lead to big, positive changes when it comes to tackling the climate crisis and working towards a more sustainable future’.  

Hannah has a Degree and a PGCE in Design and has been working in the outdoor sector delivering arts, traditional skills and heritage crafts for wellbeing over the past 4 years.  She has a great love for foraging natural materials for food and crafts and finds treasures and inspiration dotted throughout the stunning landscape of the Aman Valley.

Hannah brings energy, skills, ideas and love for the area into this role and is helping to shape an exciting creative and educational program that really speaks to and supports our amazing community.
