Meet the Team
Mrs Blossom Makes is joined at her workshops by some very talented assistants. Meet the team below!
Mrs Kelly Krafts - Tutor & Assistant
Kelly Truscott
My name is Kelly and I regularly assist Mrs Blossom with her workshops. I've known Mrs Blossom for quite a few years now, we previously worked together at a local junior school and became good friends. I enjoy working in education and helping children achieve their full potential, currently I am a Learning Support assistant in year 6. I've worked in childcare for over 20 years as a nanny and various roles in nursery and primary school settings . I love all things crafty, so enjoy the opportunity to assist Mrs Blossom when ever I can.
Assistant
Charli Streete
I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Mrs Blossom Makes since day one. While you might spot me at holiday clubs occasionally, I predominantly lend my support to their events and projects. Drawing from a background in theatre stage management and events, I've always thrived on creativity. In recent years, my focus shifted towards mental health and homelessness services. This journey led me to establish Think Big Do Bigger, my very own venture. Through this platform, I offer wellbeing workshops, 1:1 coaching, and engaging therapeutic art and craft sessions. Excited to continue making a positive impact in the realm of mental health and creativity!
Assistant
Emma Dowler
Miss Dowler is a primary school teacher by day. A keen runner and eager swimmer in the early morning…a relaxed crafter in the evenings.
I can’t resist the opportunity to help my good friend Mrs Blossom when she’s busy.
Love getting creative and I’m always amazed by what is created!
Assistant
Matt Blossom
Mr Blossom Makes! Mr Blossom is husband to Mrs Blossom. He works for the NHS and before that he also ran workshops, not of the crafty kind though - his were all about circus skills and magic and this sometimes creeps in when he helps out Mrs B at her workshops and holiday clubs. Mr Blossom, or Matt as he likes to be known, was previously an entertainer. He worked for Disney, Legoland, Butlins and up and down the land for 25 years. His father was a boxer. His mother was a cocker spaniel. He lives by the sea with a wife, child and parrot.
