I've been working in primary schools, museums, community centres, and fields for over twenty years now. I have set up a community interest company called Wordsmith Crafts CIC which helps make heritage accessible. I use a variety of techniques to do this ranging from immersive historical experiences to settings where participants use modern activities and materials to explore ancient techniques, archaeology and imagination. This approach has grown out of my academic training in Philosophy and Theology, and a passion for history and stories.
