W O R K S H O P S
Throughout my entire career I have cherished sharing the joy of creativity and facilitating others to realise their potential - both artistically but also holistically in all that creative expression can provide.
I am deeply committed to creating environments where there is no βright or wrongβ in the creative process, where each individual is seen as the person they are and what they may bring to the table.
I can create workshops based off my own artistic practise, or create something tailored for specific process of product outcomes. I am passionate about collaborative working and ensure access and fun are at the heart of every workshop.
Through my career I have worked with wide variety of people within the community including early years children, elderly stroke survivors and adults with learning disabilities. I have ran workshops for various groups including James Rennie School, PiNC, Carlisle Youth Zone, Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Warwick Bazaar.
I have completed a Young Person and Adults specialist PGCE, doing my teacher training placement on a highly esteemed Foundation Diploma course. As such, I can offer complex and challenging workshops and activities for those looking to explore conceptual as well as technical skills.
I have experience working with a diverse range of ages, support needs and experience levels so can cater to a wide scope of groups or individuals - please get in touch at katielock2@gmail.com if this sounds interesting to you!
I am currently based in Newcastle upon Tyne but happy to travel.
