Chameleon Workshop Hong Kong

• Art Teacher

  • Jul 2009 - Aug 2010

  A unique creative space, where people of any age could come to learn and explore visual art, with a major focus on oil and acrylic painting. Here I was a teacher of all ages; mother and baby, pre and primary school, teen enhancement, secondary school workshops, corporate team building, to regular clients pursuing the arts in their retirement. An integral part of my role here was to produce my own art on a regular basis, and to continually up-skill, in alignment with the ethos of the company Director, Artist Eleanor McColl, whose team of staff were all to be active art makers. With my background in formal education, my role grew, in the area of developing a bespoke curriculum for the school age students, and to produce support materials for school groups.
