Lauri Bower is a Paper Collage Artist and Mindfulness Teacher. She effectively combines these aspects into her work. She has worked creatively for all of her life, learning how to sew and knit as a child and exploring craft activities such as calligraphy, dressmaking, jewellery-making, and book-binding to name a few. She has a lifelong interest in words, books and paper. Her journey as The Creative Space began with book-binding and has gradually morphed into paper collages. Lauri creates one-of-a-kind originals which can then be translated into giclee (art quality) prints and cards. 
Most of her sales are generated through live events such as local Artisan fairs and markets, Wetherby Gallery, and Artists Around Wetherby Open Studios.
Having ceased offering workshops at home during and after lockdown she is now focussing on building up her workshops again. 

She runs mindfulness courses for Plum Village UK, based on the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
