Very excited to once again be part of 'Concept' at Pedestrian. Next week I'll be helping young folk through their Arts Award journey while they devise and record a concept album together…I might even get in on the music making myself at some point during the week 😉
At the weekend I visited the Derby Computer Museum with a mentee, and wow! What a hidden gem! I will certainly be back as I definitely didn't spend enough time reliving my childhood!
I’ve been back in schools recently sharing the magic of Cyanotype photography and the magic of photography in general. I often use a bit of storytelling in my sessions and this beloved book from my childhood comes with me to every workshop.
Baroness Floella Benjamin still with the power to inspire me and lots of young people!

PS: "Duck": Despite sounding like the bird, it is derived from the Anglo-Saxon term ducas, which was used as a form of respect, similar to "duke".
I've been working with Bobbins and Buttons on some upcoming instructional videos, sequencing footage, creating titles, adding music and balancing colour to get the best possible results before they go live!
