I'm currently running weekly workshops at one of Porchlight's sheltered accommodation units, working with 16-20 year olds. Recent workshops have included leaf rubbing/printing and suminagashi (marbling) on to a variety of paper/ fabrics. Upcoming workshops will include Tie-dying sessions using natural ingredients such as tumeric/ berries etc, alongside a visit from a street artist to teach the residents about stenciling/ street art (as they requested)
Gulbenkian ART31
*I've recently been accepted to receive funding from the Gulbenkian youth initiative: ART31, after applying last month. I'm currently being paired with an arts organisation to allow for a collaboration of different age ranges. I'm very excited about this, as it means I will be able to fully immerse myself and shelter users in a ongoing project which can reach it's full potential through funding. I'm looking to do another 'photography and identity' project, using film and digital cameras. I'm looking forward to liaising/ working closely with a variety of artists/ shelter users and shelter workers to create a memorable and interesting arts project for everyone involved.
