Press Gang!








This is going to take some explaining but stick with it. The woman (Jo) holding the baby is a good friend of mine who is the Parent Communication officer for Cathedral school in wakefield, I have been invited to come and teach a workshop about graphic design to a group of fourteen year olds who are setting up a school paper. After a few meeting to set up and plan the session, myself, Jo And her partner Toby (the guy in the hat), realised that this was a good idea to roll out across a number of schools setting up school news papers run by the children and taught via a series of monthly workshops by myself (graphics and illustration), Toby (photography) and Joanna (english and journalism).
Best of all such an enterprise covers the criteria the arts council want to gain lottery funding. we are having the first session at the Cathedral School in Wakefield, and all been well will be applying for funding before september to expand into other schools.
