The Carers Hub,Creative Workshop 2019
During August of 2019 Jones ran a two hour creative workshop for The Carers Hub. A group of carers who come together to relax have a break away while learning new creative skills. Participants were taught a simple but effective oil pastel and graphite pencil technique. Which can be utilised to create images which could be used to make birthday cards or postcards.

This was the second workshop ran by Jones for the Wonder Women sessions ran by non-profit community arts charity Letting in the Light. Within this 3 session workshop which was spread over 3 weeks. Participants were asked to create a superhero, while exploring their own identities while giving their superheros form. The resulting works were passed on to Jones for her to build upon and create an installation for her Graduating Degree show, which resulted in an artwork celebrating the potential for change and in some way become a hero. The resulting installation also went on to win 1st place within the Fine Art Category, of the GradEx 2019 event held at Staffordshire University.
Sculptural Painting Workshop, 2017
Samantha Jones has experience at providing creative workshops for community groups. During February 2017 Jones provided a two-session workshop split over two weeks for the Wonder Women sessions ran by the non-profit community arts charity Letting in the Light. Within the sessions Jones demonstrated how found objects, natural and artificial materials can be used to create sculptural paintings. Participants were encouraged to explore their creative thinking by creating a sculptural painting of their own, and providing them with a new form of creative outlet.
