As a creative educator I run creative workshops for children and young adults and occasionally for grown-ups too.

I imagine creative workshops a bit like those machines drawn by Leonardo: a mechanism for the participants to think, do and make stuff. In this way they activate other components of the machine and make more interesting things happen.

The workshop-machine can involve art, play, discussion, drama, treasure hunts, story building and much more; but it can’t be reduced to any of them. It is a structure to think and explore and wonder about things.

Being a creative educator means I plan workshops and also deliver them. In a way I see myself as a performance artists.

Among other places, I have worked for The British Library, Discover, Explora the children's Museum of Rome, the Pinacoteca Internazionale dell'Età Evolutiva, The Sorrell Foundation. As part of a programme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, I have been selected as artist in residence to run a participatory art project at Brockwell Lido, London.
For Project Peru I ran an art programme in a refuge for children in the shantytown around Lima.
