Art and technology go hand in hand. Technology is made more desirable with a beautiful design and art often uses a technological process in its creation. Puppet making sits squarely between the two




Ceramics
I have worked with clay for the past eight years creating tiles, cast artworks, experimenting with underglaze colours and recently ceramic murals.

Children love working with clay and with encouragement can be guided to fine levels of detail in relief and colour.  Due to the nature of working with clay, ceramic workshops take more than a single day.
Any inquiries about leading the development of a ceramic mural or workshops for individual artworks are very welcome!

Plaster Masks
Using plaster bandages to make a mask that fits like a glove is an engaging personal project.  Students create the base mask on each other then sculpt the final shape and paint their own.
