Naomi has developed, run and co-produced many workshops and education-based programmes both in and out of schools. She has worked in museums' education departments, has been invited to design a year long programme at the LJCC, and is now working in Brooklyn with the Rush Philanthropic Foundation.

 

Naomi holds a Masters degree in Art History from Cambridge University, and after gaining a PGCE in Secondary Art & Design was employed as a Teacher of Art and Design and Textiles.

Using her own artistic practice, she has also explored various other medias in order to facilitate her teaching practice, such sculpture, mixed media, photo-shop and printmaking. Naomi has experience teaching across both Primary and Secondary age ranges, either as a teacher of art, teaching assistant, art specialist or SEN mentor in various schools and youth groups.

She has designed and run activities both within schools and through clubs and workshops; as well as having worked freelance for a number of London Museum Education Programmes. She has experience working with children with both special needs and children for whom English is a secondary language, and has devised teaching strategies and programmes to suit their needs accordingly.

It has always been the experience of working with young people, either within a school capacity or through youth programmes that has been the inspiration to design and implement workshops that can effectively engage young people in the making of art, with the ultimate aim to inspire, educate and promote self esteem through creative means.
