Throughout my entire career I have cherished sharing the joy of creativity and facilitating others to realise their potential - both artistically but also holistically in all that creative expression can provide.

Workshops, both one off sessions or as part of long term projects, are a great way to give everyone a chance to enrich their cultural life, communicate and build confidence in a supportive atmosphere. I am deeply committed to creating environments where there is no ‘right or wrong’ in the creative process, where each individual is seen as the person they are and what they may bring to the table.

As a practising artist I can create workshops based off my own art, or create something specific for your own needs. I am passionate about collaborative working and ensure access and fun are at the heart of every workshop.

I have completed a Young Person and Adults specialist PGCE, doing my teacher training placement on a highly esteemed Foundation Diploma course. As such, I can offer complex and challenging workshops and activities for those looking to explore conceptual as well as technical skills.

I have experience working with a diverse range of ages, support needs and experience levels so can cater to a wide scope of groups or individuals - please get in touch at katielock2@gmail.com if this sounds interesting to you! 

I am currently based in Newcastle upon Tyne but happy to travel.
