Community Projects

As a community artist I have over 20 years experience of running projects and facilitating workshops in schools and associations, creating murals and sculptures for indoor and outdoor environments.  Projects are designed to fit with your space, values, ethos and curriculum.  I work with people of all ages and abilities and with a wide range of materials including much that is found and reclaimed.

School's Project 2013 with Cotswold Care Hospice and Minchinhampton Primary School.  Patients and Pupils worked together to create a collage based on the Value - Courage and element - Water.
