RELATED EXPERIENCE (Freelance Artist)
Developing new work and processes along with new exhibiting opportunities has always directed my practice. More recently I have designed jewellery and textiles for retail, included a range of fused glass and beadwork for the National Trust at Baddesley Clinton and selected art fairs.
Developing work as a designer maker has also resulted in new teaching work, ranging from pre-school, primary and secondary aged children to older people and selected groups. From two hour workshops to one day and long courses teaching a range of art, design and craft skills.
