Using arts with people to improve lives and places. The work rarely takes places in theatres or galleries. Instead, we have worked on the street, on the water, on the beach, in woods, in schools, youth clubs and village halls, up mountains and alongside canals, with people of all ages, from pre-schoolers to people in their eighties. We welcome the challenge of working with people who are excluded from other opportunities, and particularly like to mix groups of people from differing backgrounds together to create new work.

My work has always combined my love for mixing stitch, clay and found objects. I experiment using traditional methods in contemporary ways by beaching, inking, burning and trapping materials to build up interesting layers of tactile surface. My colour palette developed from my annual trips to a fisherman’s village in Portugal, there I escape into a world of flaky paint and sea washed stone walls. I am inspired by weathered objects and places with a sense of story that to me are full of character - this is a subtle but key theme in my work. I use paper clay, recycled fabrics, vintage haberdashery and yarns to create wearable pieces of art and bespoke interior pieces.

“…the woman who was as small as a pepper pot was queen of all the crows in the forest…” - Alf Proysen My illustrative practice explores the importance of storytelling and imagination. I draw with wire, pencil and stitch; intricately working dense areas of traditional embroidery and needlepoint stitches into metal gauzes and figuratively manipulated wire lines. I combine my hand embroidered wire work with observational drawing and screen printing techniques onto fabric and paper grounds to create contemporary art pieces. Drawing on folk tales, childhood stories and surreal imaginings, I harness instinctive feelings and traditional craft processes to create considered folkloric narratives that intrigue.

Using a range of media my work is concerned with the appearance and actuality of the surfaces that surround us. My paintings, using collaged recycled and pre-prepared papers, drawings in chalks or graphite, and collagraphs, celebrate pattern and the idiosyncrasies of sight. Through several on-going series, the work is sometimes searchingly observational but also a product of rememberings and the inner eye. To achieve the richness of texture and colour associated with my work, I use many techniques more usually associated with printmaking such as collage, wiping, scratching and breaking into the surface to hold the colour and enable patination. A precarious balance between process, materials, and intervention encourages my work to take an active role in its own creation.

Since graduating from University in 2005 I've continued to develop my work from my studio in Staffordshire.

Entitled ‘Paperology’ this is an ongoing series of work that combines images sourced from my book collection and carefully selected antique papers, together with my passion for print, I produce work which embraces my inspirations.

I am a screen printer, who offers art workshops sharing the skills I have learnt in this field. I have been running screen print workshops at Unit Twelve Gallery for the past 5 years, but have also worked with school groups and for other galleries. In this time I have refined my workshop practice (and more importantly the equipment I need!), so that I am now 'on the road' and able to come to you to run a workshop. I offer a full day workshop for a max of 10 participants (space dependent), demonstrating how to screen print, using newsprint stencils to create a 2/3 colour limited run of prints. The emphasis of my workshop is on making this process accessible so that people could set up at home and continue to print for themselves, therefore offering skills for life.

I graduated in 1997 with a degree in textiles and illustration. I am currently based in Stafford where I work from my home studio. My work is based around the themes of architecture and interiors. I take inspiration for my work from 1950’s textile prints and interior design, the work of Lucienne Day has formed a vital component in the development of my own art practice. My aim is to give a focus to the work which is reminiscent of the techniques, colours and element of pattern that is within 1950’s design.

Creating is one of my main interests and enjoyments in life. I am most passionate about the creative process, and particularly enjoy working in a collaborative environment – offering a richer and multi-dimensional perspective. The process of studying towards my masters has developed my thinking and enthusiasm for research into performance, technique and creation. I have a real love for improvisation as a creative tool for generating movement. I enjoy discovering movement through a somatic based approach to generate and create dance performance work. My creative practice crosses over and in-between co-existing worlds of dance, theatre, film, art and performance.
