TULLIE HOUSE MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY, CARLISLE
I am a freelance artist for Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle, in conjunction with their Visual Arts Education Department. My work has involved working with a variety of age-groups and I have designed different styles of workshops including drop-in workshops and outreach workshops as well as sessions for summer school. All of my art workshops were inspired by a particular exhibition being shown at the time. My adaptability and interdisciplinary way of working has allowed me to design and deliver workshops, which are wide-ranging, challenging yet accessible. Feedback about my workshops has always been very positive.
