Social Arts Practice, Workshops & Creative Facilitation

Children and Young People​

 Over the years I've worked with hundreds of young people, from my regular work with SmARTies art club for 6 - 12 year olds at Whale Arts, to long term arts and wellbeing projects for young people aged 14 - 25 with barriers to traditional education and arts access. Seeing young people grow in confidence and skill, introducing them to new and exciting ideas and co-designing youth led  projects and outcomes which bring their passions and imaginations to life is an incredibly rewarding , inspiring and enriching experience! Below are a selection of outcomes from recent youth workshops and events!
