I’ve discover my sketchbooks from when I was 18. I went to a convent school and the nuns didn’t really want me to go to art college. HT wouldn’t give me a reference! I found this little idea for a comic I was going to draw. Page from my”hymn” book. I never did turn back. 😂🤣😂🤣

Absolutely amazed to have well over 200 primary art leads at our Sketchbook online session tonight. I’m honoured to work with the very best people- @accessart @GomersalArt @BlakerJo and hope that our mission to improve art ed in schools will have impact with our participants!

It’s been a long and successful day. Meeting with colleagues and new friends to champion art and design education. Fantastic support from MPs. I’m a bit tired now but I’m happy. @Andriazaf (cake will follow- promise) x

What an exciting primary ART CPD we have planned tonight! All about sketchbooks. With the always inspiring @GomersalArt @PaulCarneyArts @accessart . I’ll be remembering the Bronte family in my bit! Those tiny books they made. Over 170 years ago. #history

It’s worth the license fee to watch programmes like ‘Art That Made Us’ from @BBCTwo because it’s celebration and education of and in history and art together. Loving it! Saw @AliceKettle @MPeakeOfficial guiding me thru Elizabethan times tonight. You’ve missed it? Catch it!❤️
