Education

I have worked extensively for museums and charities teaching design projects and craft sessions. These educational workshops has been a key part of my work for several years and I am working on developing a methodology that allows people to reflect on intangible issues though the making of objects.

Themes include:

• Design education workshops getting both young and old people prototyping and solving problems by working with their hands. My aim is that, in seeing making and design as a form of activism, we can encouraging people to take ownership of the problems around them and, through this, to take ownership of our collective future.
• Through teaching repair skills and creative projects in which participants make things from waste. I hope to raise awareness of the valuable resources still embodied within "waste" products they would otherwise throw away to encourage more circular ways of thinking.
• I also teach craft, woodworking and electronics classes for local charities and organisations embracing the broader social impacts of working with our hands.
