Background
As a Community Artist, my role is adaptable and experimental,
helping others to develop their creativity through visual
arts.
Education
Work
My role allows me to develop Visual arts in schools, colleges
and within the community. Each project is designed specifically
for the group in mind to allow for maximum creative development.
Sessions can run during a one-day taster workshop to a longer
artist in residence project. I facilitate workshops for all
age groups and abilities:
- Early
Years
-
Primary
- Secondary

- Special
Needs

I
have worked in educational settings now for over 12 years
and have been fortunate to work with many groups within this
time. Creating banners from felt, light and shadow presentations,
3D sculptures, den building, Batik panels and many more.
Training includes a BA (Hons) in Textiles, C&G 730/7 adult
education for teaching adults and further education, BSL stage
2 (I am interested in delivering more workshops involving
young deaf people) and an MA in Textiles. I have also visited
Reggio Emilia in Northern Italy and worked in preschools in
the UK using principles and philosophies observed on my visit
in 2004. |
