Meet the Team
Business owner
Kirsty Henderson
As a qualified primary school teacher, I decided to start up Krafty Kidz in 2018 and I didn't look back! I love my job so much and thank my lucky stars every day that I get the opportunity to follow my dreams. I'm a very busy mum of three, and my wee gang can often be found helping out at my classes and parties.
Team member
Lesley Rowntree
My name is Lesley and I’m a mum to 3 children. I love working with children and adults and have been volunteering with Girlguiding Dalgety Bay for the past 15 years. I run a brownie unit which is for girls aged 7 to 10 and guides 10 to 14 years.
I’ve always been passionate about arts and crafts and have enjoyed spending the last 2 years establishing the charity ‘That Place in the Bay’ by volunteering and running classes.
I run Krafty Grown Upz crafting and scrapbooking classes. Click the button below to enquire about joining the class.
Team member
Claire Needham
I’m Claire! I am a local portrait artist, mum of two (well three if you count the dog) and a Jog Scotland Leader for the local running group, Jog Dalgety Bay. I have an MA (Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh, which combines a History of Art Degree with the practice of Drawing and Painting at the Edinburgh College of Art. As well as being a Signature Member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society, I’m an award winning and internationally published artist, and have had work selected for several high-profile exhibitions. If you would like to learn more about my credentials, please visit my website www.portraitsbyclaireneedham.com.
I am delighted to be joining the Krafty Kidz team and bringing my knowledge and skillset to introduce a new type of class focussing on the fundamental elements and techniques of drawing. In this relaxed environment everyone will be able to express themselves through art, improve their skill level and learn to see the world as an artist.
