I am a recently qualified primary school teacher who is currently working in supply and as a art workshop provider. I have a degree in general illustration and a small on line business primarily selling sculptures made from recycled materials.

I plan and provide workshops to suit any theme that the school requires, whether it be topic based, skill focused or for a specific event. I am keen to provide art projects that are cross curricular and I will work with the class teachers to ensure the pupils achieve as much as possible from the session.

I can also provide art clubs for schools, event stalls, and workshops for out of school clubs.

I have skills with digital software and 2d and 3d materials including paint, printmaking, clay and wire, batik, textile, willow work and the use of recycled material.

Please contact me for a quote, references and any further information that you require:

It measured approximately 3m x 2m and is attached to the out side wall of the school.
