'Diversity Day' 2014 - 2019 supporting year 7's transition into their new secondary school: Fernwood Secondary School Nottingham. Devised by Assistant Head Teacher Kevin Mayle, the day explored diversity in many different forms: music, sports and occupations with practitioner from all walks of life, abilities and cultures. I came in as an artist and in the five years this ran, pupils created hundreds of clay figures with accompanying statements around diversity that could form the backbone any curriculum! I also introduced my creative practice in a presentation as part of widening horizons.
