Museum & Heritage Workshops
I work in museum education, which means I have lots of experience designing and delivering art workshops that connect with exhibitions, objects, and stories. I enjoy finding creative ways to bring themes to life through art, helping visitors engage more deeply with what they see and learn. Whether it’s exploring artefacts or responding to a particular theme, I love using art to spark curiosity and imagination.
Take a look at a recent project working with Kresen Kernow- home to the world’s largest collection of documents, books, maps and photographs related to Cornwall’s history.
I worked with Kresen Kernow to plan and deliver their summer ARTchive sessions-an opportunity for visitors to get creative while discovering stories from Cornish art history. Inspired by animal sketches from the archive, I designed and led a series of hands-on collage workshops exploring a range of techniques, including Gelli printing, adding 3D elements, mask-making, and mark making using stamps and rollers. The sessions encouraged playful experimentation and offered a fun, accessible way for families to engage with the collection through art.
These sessions were run in collaboration with disAbility Cornwall & Isles of Scilly and are part funded by The Little Owles Trust.
In the summer of 2025, Kresen Kernow teamed up with disAbility Cornwall to make their onsite family crafts more accessible. They ran craft activities inspired by both art history in their collection and Dual Form by Barbara Hepworth, temporarily on display at Kresen Kernow. This video was produced by Ruby Ingleheart and talks to the team involved about the project and shows what families got up to over the summer. The project was part funded by The Little Parc Owles Trust.
