The Wilberforce Trust
During the summer I enjoyed running a number of workshops for children including workshops for Explore York and for Make Space for Girls and autumn has begun with a workshop for adults. I have had the great pleasure of working with a number of tenants from The Wilberforce Trust. The charity supports people with visual and hearing impairments. The lovely group created landscapes working with black ink and a variety of natural materials including sticks and bark. For enquiries regarding workshops please do get in touch.
Make Space for Girls Festival 2024
Following the success of the 2023 Make Space for Girls Festival the Friends of Rowntree Park are running another one. The festival is aimed at encouraging girls to use their local parks for mental and physical well-being. There will be over 30 fantastic events and they are all free. I am delighted to be involved again with two drawing workshops in Rowntree Park. Details of all the events can be found here: http://www.rowntreepark.org.uk/makespace.
Medieval Archives Workshop
I am thrilled to be involved in a very exciting event in partnership with Explore York Libraries and Archives and the University of York. Families will be given the opportunity to see a number of the medieval city books contained in the archive. The books are fascinating records of medieval life and beautiful artefacts in themselves. I will be running one of three workshops exploring the books. The event is free but places are very limited and do need to be booked: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/exploreyorklibrariesandarchives/1190559.
