Workshop facilitation

Alongside my studio practice, I have 15 years experience as a socially engaged participatory artist, facilitating inclusive collaborative workshops for children and young people in sculpture, installation, and animation.

From 2022-24 I co-led sessions at The Hundred Club Afterschool with Dominika Kieruzel. This creative studio space was led by 5-12 year olds, building clay computer games, ladybird credit cards, and making magic postal potions amongst many other brilliant projects. The Hundred Club is a family club, initiated by Ruth Beale and produced by TACO! I was Young Artist Projects Producer at TACO! from 2021-25.

I devised and led a week of family sessions at Young V&A. Underground City took inspiration from the subterranean playset of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on display at Young V&A. Using recycled materials, we made modular sculptures, inspired by what we see and how we play as we move through the city. Once we’d made our model sculptures we explored them together using DIY viewing devices.

I devised and led the family art session Sunday Spot at South London Gallery, where we made large-scale modular structures that children could climb inside. Using cardboard sheets and fabric, families constructed a watery maze of tunnels, tubes corridors and pathways; directing the flow of people as we navigated the space in unusual ways. I also led related workshops for school groups, in which we responded to a Isamu Noguchi sculpture featured in the Dahn Vo exhibition.

I was invited by Hackney Wicked development programme to lead a workshop to 10 and 11 year olds creating large-scale sculptural installations that both the maker and viewer could inhabit.

I was lead artist on a series of after-school clubs for primary school children in East London, exploring transformable sculptures that could be packed away and then unfurled in another form. These also acted as props for animated GIFs.

I have run several animation workshops at schools and youth clubs, utilising zoetropes and gif programs on the iPad.

As part of Big Draw week at a North London secondary school, I ran a cyanotype workshop, producing images that were then used as the basis for short animated gifs.

I devised and led a series of workshops for year 9 students, using my sculptural frameworks and their drawings to create sci-fi scenarios including alien banquets and flags from other worlds. Part of Big Draw week.
