The Barnaby Webber Foundation was delighted to support workshop sessions for vulnerable children with complex medical and health needs to express themselves through art. A series of sessions was funded to encourage children to develop self-confidence, team building skills and to learn new techniques in creativity using glass as an artform.
“Giving young people autonomy to express themselves is always inspiring-I expect that this experience will again remind me of what a privilege teaching is. I am hoping the participants will feel they can push the boundaries, making new visual works of art. It will be a great opportunity to work collaboratively again with a group by showing techniques and glass materials that they ordinarily would not have access to. I am looking forward to facilitating both independent pieces and collaborative work in a thoughtful, personal way which I am hoping will pave the way for offering more group themed workshops in the future.” Ruth Proudfoot-Smith, artist & educator
