ABOUT:

I'm a writer from Cumbria, but have lived in Scotland for over twenty years. My first book, Rural:The Lives of the Working-Class Countryside was published June 2023 by William Collins.
The book is about rural industry, tied housing and the largely unrecorded voices from the past and the present that call the countryside home.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
