About Chris. McCarthy:
Wherever your interests lie: from greetings cards to fine art, Chris can probably help.
He holds a Certificate of Further Education which entitles him to teach mature students of all abilities; over the age of 18.
Whilst teaching at Bradford College, he designed the current art's course for students with learning difficulties.
During an 11 year employment with Bradford Social Services, he designed and ran most of the art and craft courses offered to adults with long-term, or recently-acquired, physical disabilities.
His booklet 'Towards Inclusion' , written for Huddersfield University, is considered by many to be essential reading for those interested in teaching 'differently-abled' students.
He is a well established community-artist, with major projects all over the North of England.
If you need a 'one-off' session to familiarise yourself with a new medium ... or a complete 'how to' course, please feel free to contact him and discuss it.
He is also willing to conduct workshops and demonstrations.
