Collaborative ARtwork with care home residents

Workshops for Organisations

I have devised and delivered participatory art programmes and workshops for lots of different people including, 

• Children (aged 0-16) and their grown ups

• Students

• Adults

• Care home residents

• People living with long term health conditions including long Covid

• Hospital patients

• Young parents community groups

• High school teachers.

I am currently employed part time by Art in Healthcare leading a participatory art project with people who cannot access cultural spaces due to long term health conditions. I am also leading a series of embroidery workshops with Macmillan.

I have previously worked as a learning coordinator at National Galleries of Scotland (families and communities programme) and Arts educator at the Whitworth Art Gallery and Manchester Museum (families and arts for health programmes). 

I have delivered participatory art projects in a freelance capacity for Starcatchers, Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity, Craft Scotland, Grampian Hospital Arts Trust, stepping stones and Edinburgh Art Festival amongst others.

You can book me to run a workshop for adults or children (ages 2-16). I can come to your home / venue or host the workshop at my studio Midlothian.

I can offer workshops in a variety of techniques including:

• drawing

• children’s parties

If you have any other ideas of things you’d like to try get in touch and we’ll work out a plan!
