Review:I have found Debby to be highly focused, enthusiastic, and fully committed to the project. She is passionate about creativity in many forms which brings a broader perspective and unique direction to teching and learning. She is a calm, encouraging and supportive presence in the school and has built excellent relationships with staff and students.

I 'm a freelance artist based near Penrith, Cumbria, specialising in delivering visual arts workshops to schools and groups of all ages and abilities. Workshops can be targeted to KS1, KS2, KS3 and SEN groups, and can include CPD for teachers, and sessions that involve parents as well. There are lots of ways that an art project can be linked to the curriculum. Creating a big collaborative labyrinth incorporating geometry, art and performance, or hand- made books incorporating calligraphy and printing linked to Anglo- Saxon studies are two examples of possible projects.
