Education (young people)

I live in Oxford and work as a freelance arts consultant and fundraiser for arts charities. Closely connected to Oxford Lieder and its annual two-week Festival each October, I also work to advise and help develop the work and outreach of other performing arts organisations and ensembles, including Music of Life, a charity for musically-talented children and young adults with disabilities. I initiated the founding of the Oxford Music Network in 2006, a collaboration between several of Oxford's professional music organisations.

Rosalind Wates is an experienced professional mosaic artist, specialising in public art projects. Her work can be found in many parts of the UK, from the Outer Hebrides to deepest Devon. She is author of the book ‘The Mosaic Decorator’s Sourcebook’, and has carried out private commissions for Michael & Shakira Caine, Cameron Mackintosh, and Jeremy Irons. She has appeared on Channel Four television, recently in House & Garden magazine, also the World of Interiors, and Artist & Illustrator’s magazine. She likes to blend the great traditions of mosaic with an innovative approach, in particular combining mosaic with three-dimensional forms.
