Welcome to CUB Designs

Welcome to my creative world
I'm Sally, an artist, illustrator and lifelong lover of the natural world.
My work is inspired by the wildlife, flowers, changing seasons and little moments of beauty I find around me, often combining my love of painting, illustration and mixed media to create colourful, characterful pieces with a story to tell.
Creativity has always been about more than simply making something beautiful for me – it's a way to slow down, notice the world around us and find joy in the everyday. Alongside creating my own original artwork, prints and illustrated gifts, I run relaxed art and craft workshops where I share that love of making with others, encouraging people to experiment, learn new skills and discover their own creativity.
Have a wander, explore my work and hopefully find a little piece of nature, colour or creativity that speaks to you.


Workshops
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
— Plutarch
I run a variety of relaxed and welcoming art, craft and wellbeing workshops, with many inspired by my love of nature, the changing seasons and the beautiful things we often overlook in the world around us.
From painting and botanical crafts to traditional and nature-based techniques, each workshop is an opportunity to slow down, get creative and try something new – no previous experience needed. Learning a new skill isn't just enjoyable; it helps keep our minds active and curious, encourages focus and confidence, and gives us that wonderful sense of achievement that comes from making something with our own hands.
Most importantly, my workshops are about enjoying the process, connecting with others and taking a little time away from everyday life to simply be.
