Hi, I'm Jacqueline...
I am an artist and an educator, passionate about creativity and sharing ideas. I have a wealth of experience, having run specialist art workshops in schools for over 15 years. I am endorsed by many arts Organisations, Schools, Children’s Centres and Adult Education groups, and I am committed to providing creative, meaningful, hands-on workshops for both children and adults alike.
I have huge enthusiasm for what I do and developing my love of art, drawing, making and creating, which I started at a young age. Working with children also feeds into my own work as an artist, never failing to inspire with their playful spontaneous drawings, expressive paintings and mark making. I believe that there is no right or wrong in Art – Art is about experimenting, it is PLAY!….
“Creative people are CURIOUS, flexible, persistent and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of PLAY “ – Henri Matisse
My approach….
Whether I’m working with you, in your school or setting, or as an individual, I’ll be hoping to bring some inspiration to you and believe that through collaboration and the sharing of ideas, magic happens. It’s through connection and conversation which forms meaningful relationships with the people I’m working with,
Helping others to thrive and build confidence is my passion and art is at the heart of everything I do, whether that be in demonstrations, presentations, workshops, 1-2-1 teaching and across all aspects of my creative approach.
If you wish to contact me to discuss your project, please do …and have a look at some of the inclusive, collaborative art workshops I offer…
I specialise in tailoring workshops to suit individual requirements, whether it’s a one day workshop, an art week or a longer-term art residency, whole staff CPD training in house, online or classes available in the studio, please feel free to contact me to discuss.
Jacqui Smith
