I am very excited to announce I have been accepted as Hazel Grove High School’s Artist-in-Residence 2017! Furthermore, the Artist Residency has been approved and will be funded by Arts Council England!

The workshops will explore ceramic and mixed media techniques, research in and around the gardens in Hazel Grove High School, and engagement with botanical collections and specimens. This collaboration will result in the art work being displayed within the School’s gardens, and exhibited at a Manchester gallery in August 2017.

Hello everyone! I am aware that I have not updated this for almost a year… This is due to a very busy PGCE course! I have been on placements at a number of schools in Greater Manchester since September 2014, and when I get a free afternoon I shall post photos of some of the work the pupils and myself have created. I shall leave you with this for the time being – a beautiful porcelain experiment inspired by natural forms, made by one of my Year 10 pupils:
