CV - TESS HILLS
COMMUNITY ARTS

My work covers client groups of all ages, in a variety of educational, residential and community settings. Previous experience covers both long & short-term projects from full-time teaching in Further Education, through to artist residences, and one-off workshops.

I offer practical workshops in: mask-making, puppet-making, lanterns, textiles & silk papermaking, 3D & sculpture, mosaic & a range of 2D/printmaking & mark-making workshops. This list is literally endless as I am constantly tailoring workshops to meet new requests.
