Every day’s a school day at Metal! Since joining the team in 2016, I’ve been part of a mermaid parade behind the Disco Turtle, helped bring 5000 young people together for their first festival experience and have been turned upside down by Charmaine Childs of Strong Lady Productions during a residency meeting. I graduated with a Fine Art degree from Nottingham Trent University, and I am happy to be studying/making again with help from TOMA (The Other MA). Through working with Metal and developing as an artist, I like to help people to find creative confidence and connect people, be it through shared experiences, laughter, common ground or a surprise. I have a spidey sense for Jammie Wagon Wheels, and one of my comfort shows is ‘Spaced’. Brian’s not been in residence with us yet…
