Groups I have worked with in the past include 20 years of Community Education for Adults at Christchurch High Schools and Risingholme Community Centre, local and Regional Art Groups,( including Hokitika, Greymouth, Motueka, Leeston and Ashburton); Aged Care in Restomes, Mental Health, Visiting Journalists, IT Crowd, and One Week Artist in Residence at Chisnallwood Intermediate, Kids Fest for 8 years at The Arts Centre of Christchurch
Bit of background...My journey into teaching began in India, 1984; when, among other things, I was learning fine silk embroidery at Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. I was asked to teach a group of non english speaking Indian school children the basics of stitching, so I called upon my own experiences of learning on hessian with brightly coloured wools as we did at Primary School in Christchurch ...
1993 I completed Adult teaching Certificates 1 and 2 at Nelson Polytechnic.
