I graduated in 1997 with a degree in textiles and illustration and have a background in education, teaching art at secondary level and currently teach on a B’ tec Art & Design course.

I have led a variety of workshops to a range of different groups and settings. These consist of working on community art projects, small art groups, in gallery settings and working on a number of projects within schools.

My workshops are based very much around the techniques and processes used within my own artwork, with a focus on monoprinting, drawing, wire, collage, work on canvas and textiles. Previous workshops have focused on similar themes to my own work such as the interior, 1950’s design and architecture. However, these techniques and processes can be adapted to many different themes.

These workshops can be adapted easily to work with all ages and I normally work with a maximum of 30 participants. My daily rate is £210 plus 40p per mile for travel expenses. Materials are included in the daily rate unless the project is over a longer period of time and specific materials are required to suit the particular project.

I have public liability up to 5 million pounds and enhanced CRB disclosure.
