Artist Profile
I am passionate about making music, my gaol being to share that
passion with as many diverse groups as possible, making my workshops fun
and accessible. I have many years of broad experience working with all
ages, the abled and differently abled, those with behavioural, mental
health and learning difficulties. Leather is a great material with which
to work – it is versatile, combines well with other materials, and
working with it involves the use of a wide variety of skills &
dexterity. I am keen to help others create in this medium. As part of
Meerkat, I perform & give workshops in combined music and dance with
dance practitioner/music & dance performer, Miranda Betts.
