WORKSHOPS
One off creative, bespoke workshops covering a wide range of materials and processes. Sessions are adjusted according to age and ability. A session (half day) is up to 3hrs. Some workshops need to take place over a full day (2 sessions). A full day is also recommended for older pupils to include in depth preliminary research, design and sketchbook work. Workshops are the backbone of most projects and commissions.
PROJECTS
Engaging and exciting, bespoke projects can evolve from the extension of the workshop processes or developing a school idea. The aim can be to create an event, exhibition, or new commission for your school. A project can be linked through a series of schools, or a single school. Projects bring extended benefits; experiences are extended and potential unlocked as exploration is more indepth. Pupils see a final outcome and understand the journey that leads them there. Projects can include thematic workshops linked to arts weeks, commissions (outdoor and indoor), exhibitions and events.
COMMISSIONS
A full commission service is available. Outdoor, indoor, temporary or more permanent art pieces are designed to suit the spaces and people you wish to engage. With experience in many materials and processes, including installation and project management, a commission will be created to your requirements and budget. Workshops in school are designed to enhance and support the commission.
