With over 20 years of experience as a qualified Secondary Art Teacher, I delivered creative, hands-on workshops for people of all ages and abilities. From curriculum-based learning in schools to large-scale community projects, my focus was always on making art accessible, engaging, and rooted in real experience.

I worked closely with primary school teachers to integrate art into the classroom, designing lessons that connected with wider learning across subjects. I also led outdoor workshops using a variety of materials, encouraging creativity through exploration and play.

My community work included projects such as Murdoch Day and the Redruth Christmas Parade, as well as creating installations and artworks for festivals like Glastonbury, Wilderness, Port Eliot, and Leopallooza.

Further afield, I facilitated family workshops in Svalbard, using creative activities to bring communities together in remote and inspiring environments. I also collaborated with Dutch illustrator Marieke ten Berge on a printmaking workshop that used recycled materials to explore storytelling through image and process.

I have experience working to briefs and developing them for others, and I continue to offer support with workshop planning, lesson design, and creative community projects. Whether for schools, festivals, or local events, I can create tailored, engaging sessions that spark imagination and connectionI
