"Whether working with a child, a vulnerable adult or an experienced artist, Karen has that unquantifiable 'extra something' which makes everyone feel empowered, valued and respected. Her fastidious planning, eye for detail and gentle, encouraging nature always bring results and make creative participation a joy for everyone" Gordon Scott, Director of Prema

Working collaboratively with groups
When working on a collaborative sculpture, often where the participant has never previously touched clay, I find that the art that we create together engages and inspires people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
In addition to learning new skills and working as part of a team the benefits of creating work collaboratively lead to increased confidence, increased feelings of well being and wider personal horizons.
I devise unique creative opportunities to deliver quality collaborative innovative permanent artworks. I work with people in schools, communities, hospitals and other health care settings.
The work is usually made on site, transported for firing, returned and permanently installed.
My work can be proactive in addressing common issues such as social inclusion; cultural diversity and lifelong learning. I structure specific projects to meet these criteria as required. I follow Health & Safety guidelines as required by the HSE in my working practice and in the artwork I create .
I accept individual commissions and I am CRB checked and fully insured.
