Looking ahead to this year's Open Studios, I recently had the chance to have a chat with Phil Hewitt, Group Arts Editor for Sussex World (Chichester Observer).
I spoke about one of the subjects I am passionate about, education and the arts and encouraging children to be creative — without limitations.
My great inspiration is Sir Ken Robinson (1950-2020), the author, speaker and international advisor on education in the arts: “He definitely tried to change educational systems around the world, really trying to make breakthroughs in the education systems. And there are other people now trying desperately to do the same. Really it is just a question of keeping trying to get the message out there. Even little people like me can make a difference just by saying ‘Come and create’, just by saying ‘take away the concept of right and wrong and just try it, just try to be creative.’
