About My Community, My Heritage, My Place
"Joanne and Chris were brilliant; very adaptable and accommodating. All of our teachers were able to benefit from working alongside the artists and have learnt new skills that they will be able to use in the future."
"Joanne and Chris were fabulous and had a lovely manner with our children. each session was very well pitched to each year group. They led each session very effectively, whilst allowing the children to pursue their own ideas. Our children loved the sessions and everyone was made to feel included and involved. We absolutely loved it."
