Weekly Enrichment Workshops at Gateshead College: Pop Up Shop Club
The Pop Up Shop, is an enrichment club I founded in the academic year 2024/25. In seeing a gap in diversity in market products, I wanted to dedicate a space where students are able to learn and create product outcomes from a selection of craft based workshops. I led this enrichment weekly and with a constant rotation of varied workshops, students are able to learn a new creative skill every week which lean towards commercial art.
Our department pop up shop name is G-collective. All products made within this enrichment goes towards pop up shops throughout the academic year where students have the opportunity to learn creative business entrepreneurship.

Casual Teaching at Gateshead College: 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.
