Enrichment Workshop: Pop Up Shop Club
The Pop Up Shop is an enrichment club I founded during the 2024–25 academic year. Responding to a lack of diversity in market products, I created a space where students could develop craft-based products through weekly workshops. Each session introduced a new creative skill focused on commercial art and product design.
The club operates under the department’s pop-up shop brand G-Collective, where student-made products are sold at pop-up events throughout the academic year. This gives students hands-on experience in creative entrepreneurship and selling their work.
Project Choice Art
Project Choice is the dedicated SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) department at Gateshead College, providing an inclusive and supportive environment where every learner is empowered to thrive. During my time as a casual teacher, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with the Project Choice Art class.
Each week, I looked forward to engaging and guiding these students through creative projects. This allowed them to express themselves, build confidence, and develop their artistic skills. Ending the acedemic year with a Project Choice Art Exhibtion.
