If you’d like to commission me to work in an educational context - whether that’s to facilitate a workshop, deliver a talk or create work for an exhibition - please complete the below form.
I tend to facilitate workshops in conjunction with galleries, archives or community spaces: I run the workshop but the advertising, booking and organisation of the workshop is undertaken by the gallery, etc. Usually, workshops tend to be 2-days and participants focus on producing a sign: either a single letter or short word. All materials are provided.
I am interested in delivering talks about the craft of signwriting and my work/experiences as a signwriter, my PhD work, and my work as a Curatorial Trustee of the Fairground Heritage Trust and discussing our collection of artwork. I use a pdf of images to visually evidence the work I’m discussing and can deliver talks between 20 minutes to 1 hour, both in-person and online. I am happy to hold a Q&A session to accompany the talk.
I am interested in participating in both group and solo exhibitions and am always keen to produce new work in respond to a given brief or theme. I am primarily interested in featuring in exhibitions that are bringing craft to the foreground, and those that are examining letterforms and folk culture.
At the moment, I am not looking to take on an apprentice. I do occasionally employ assistants for large-scale site jobs - please get in touch with a portfolio of work and breakdown of your skills / experience if you’d like to be considered.
