I was thrilled to have been contacted by the National Centre for Craft and Design's, Learning and Engagement department to be chosen as two of their students' Inspirational Artist for their Arts Award application.

The NCCD has a fantastic programme for the youth to inspire them to get more creative and ambitious as young artists.

Commitment to the community is very important for Milly J Shoes who was contacted by the National Centre For Craft & Designs' Young People's Group to materialise a pair of shoes to their design. Based on the two sides of a clown, I handmade a pair that is now also exhibited at the National Centre For Craft & Design.
