Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm an artist based in Devon, England who's passionate about creativity and inspiring children, my classes on drawing realistic animals!
Since 2001 I have led film, animation and art workshops with children age 6 to adult with a specialism in SEN in schools, hospitals and SEN schools in the UK and USA. I also ran historical animation workshops for family groups at The British Museum in London for many years. My degree is in video installation art and I have an MA/MSc in Community Arts and SEN/inclusion studies where I focussed on creating animation with autistic children. As well as videography, I've studied kids' TV presenting and stand-up comedy. I'm also an expert in 2D needle-felting and known internationally for my work.
I have two children (aged 8 and 12) and we love making films with my fantastic puppets and lego animations together. I home educate my kids and love injecting creativity into teaching more serious subjects such as mathematical graphs or spelling.
My classes are very inclusive and fun and am very happy to adapt to varying abilities and can't wait to meet all of you!Reviews
