Since graduating in Textiles from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1999 I have been working as an artist, undertaking exhibitions and commissions, selling my work through shops, galleries and shows, as well as running art workshops in schools, colleges and galleries.
I predominantly run experimental workshops, in which the participants are asked to investigate the qualities of non-traditional and found media. The main emphasis of this is to encourage the group to re-assess their perception of art, and to become innovative in their choice of media. Much of my work is environmentally friendly and incorporates the recycling and reuse of found media.
I am currently available to run workshops in community
and health settings, for
the workshops I charge £250 per day plus 40p per mile for travel
expenses, this is inclusive of materials. I have Public Liability insurance
up to 5 million pounds, and have enhanced CRB disclosure.
However I am not currently running art workshops in schools as I am changing
the emphasis of my practise and have launched Unit Twelve, a workshop
and exhibition space so am taking time to concentrate on this venture.
Unit Twelve means
that you and your students as individuals can undertake art workshops
in a more intimate environment (£35 per person per day). I am also
able to offer a substantial discount for group bookings should you wish
to book a full day with your students on a day of your choosing. (Maximum
10 students and 2 teachers). The space is set within a stunning rural
location, and has an emphasis on quality rather than quantity; select
themed exhibitions and small groups in workshops. It is perfect for you
to come for a day out and learn new skills in a relaxing atmosphere, or
to get your students out of the classroom and into a creative, inspiring
environment.
