Funded by  Arts Council England  in partnership with Virgin Trains. This project gathered over 400 drawings from the general public traveling on trains via drawing packs left in train carriages.All drawing exhibited on the project's online gallery www.ThePencilLine.com. As part of the project I also produced and exhibited a  large body of work in response to train travel.This was alongside running a number of community drawing workshops on board trains for groups from St Mungos, Bristol Drug Project and Space 2/Julian Trust.

2013. Networks Project 

 Working with women groups across Bristol involved in the criminal justice system effected by drugs and mental health issues. I ran  12 week workshops at Eastwood Park HMP and NHS Secure Unit Fromeside. The project was funded by Creativity Works and Produced by Deborah Aguirre Jones. 

 2012. Tea Stories.

This project was funded by Arts Council England, The Herritage Lottery Fund and Sparkplugs. This project looked at the past use of the building which is now used by Spike Island Arts space but was once a former Brooke Bond Tea packing factory. Over the project I made contact with over 80 ex Brooke Bond employees. We held a number of reunion events and exhibitions such a reunion tea party and book launch amongst other events. The project culminated in the making of a book,which was based on the Brooke Bond tea card albulms which documented the working lives of ex Brooke Bond employees.
