Only when you start doing a PhD do you realise that PhD students are 10 a penny.

@jess_mannion Are you doing this and the PhD at the same time? 😱

Got some new books for my Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning. Hopefully these will help me with the essay I need to write. #lecturer #pgce #highereducation #EmotionalIntelligence #reflectiveteaching #academicchatter #academictwitter #itsligo #books #ilovebooks

Fab day at @Project_Ability's European Art Summit. Amber and Leslie both started a painting and Dom created a large-scale piece to be accompanied by a one-off performance at the exhibition launch. Amber "it's been really good I've enjoyed meeting new people and old friends"

@VentureArts @Project_Ability @J_L_Gallery @tanyaraabe @THEActionSpace @disabilityarts @ArtlinkHull @outsidein_uk Lovely to be there with you all today :)

Thank you to @LeahFBurch @JLSirotkin and @Martina_Smith_ for an absolutely brilliant day at #newdirectionscds. So much to think about as a result, every presentation was excellent and really thought provoking. Very grateful to you for organising today.

This week we've been checking out this year's degree shows at @McrSchArt. A particular highlight was the Robert finding his favourite outfit in the fashion department. degreeshow.mmu.ac.uk

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! It was a great day. Please stay in touch :)

Second breakout session of the day, @AMAtkinsonPhoto is talking about her work with artists with learning disabilities #cdspgconf19

Art produced by artists with learning disabilities is often classified as 'outsider art', 'disability art' or 'art therapy'. This is very problematic and can mean that their work is undervalued @AMAtkinsonPhoto #cdspgconf19

Disability & Arts : @AMAtkinsonPhoto on collaborative arts practice - raised questions about how learning disabled artists can appeal to the arts world/market whilst avoiding marginalisation of their art? Creative excellence of disabled artists much be acknowledged #CDSPGconf19

Ready to go! #newdirectionscds

So grateful to have presented at this welcoming and inspiring conference

We attended the Leeds Learning Disability Peoples Parliment & Leeds Partnership Board Council Takeover at the Leeds Civic Hall today. It was moving to hear personal stories to do with transport, health care & employment for people with a learning disabilty in Leeds. @AdvonetUK

This is how happy I am!! Just 6 DAYS until my new exhibition opens 'Recipe for a Good' this Sunday at 12.30pm at The @TheBrindley in Runcorn. I hope you can make it! facebook.com/events/2264453…
