Workshops and training
I teach drawing as a way of thinking. Not how to draw well — how to use drawing to understand something, to hold a complicated situation still long enough to look at it, and to tell other people what you found.
I work with universities, research groups, museums, festivals, NGOs, campaigns and community organisations. If you have a group and something you’re trying to understand together, I can build a workshop around it.
I keep groups small, five to eight people, so everyone gets time at the table.
Commission a workshop
If you’re organising a course, research project, exhibition, conference, community programme or campaign, I can design a workshop around what you’re already working on.
Tell me who your group is, roughly how long you have, and what you’re trying to understand or communicate. We can build the workshop from there.
From archive to page
For historians, archivists and museums. Working from documents, plans, photographs and files towards a narrative the archive was not organised to tell.
Drawing as fieldnote
For ethnographers, anthropologists and social scientists. How to draw in the field, what a drawing records that a photograph or a notebook doesn’t, and how to build an account from what you drew.
I can show how one can draw what cannot be photographed.
For journalists and researchers working in places where cameras are refused, unsafe, or forbidden. Drawing as a way of recording when recording is not permitted.
Comics for human right advocacy
For campaigns, NGOs and movements. Turning a report into something people read, understand and pass on.
Storyboarding and visual storytelling
For filmmakers, illustrators, artists and anyone working with visual narratives. How to storyboard a sequence, build characters and depict their actions, relationships and environments. Working with drawing to think through reality before it becomes a film, video, comic or illustrated sequence — what happens, what the viewer sees, and what happens between one image and the next.
