Sessions will be led by artist Jamie-Lee Wainman. We asked Jamie to introduce herself here:
"Hello! My name is Jamie and I am a creative practitioner based at Islington Mill in Salford. My work is focused on using play and creativity as a tool for learning, and making learning accessible to people with different learning styles. I am both neurodivergent and disabled, and I love sharing my passion for 3D printing, sustainability, and the arts as a tool for well-being with others. I’m excited to be leading the Youth Collective at the Turnpike Gallery, I can’t wait to learn new skills from the attendees and help foster a community in Leigh for like-minded creatives."
