What People Are Saying
“Ryan put together a well thought-out, inclusive piece which was powerful and had people talking about the words. I would come back to Ryan for more pieces that raise awareness on matters that impact our peers, as he was able to articulate feelings, thoughts and history perfectly”
- GREENE KING“Ryan came to work with our Year 9 and 10 students on understanding and writing poetry based around the themes of power and conflict. The days were brilliant, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from staff and students. He didn’t just work with them; he made them feel the power of words and craft them in ways they had not done before”
- DIANE HENSON, HEADTEACHER“Ryan is an incredibly talented artist, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. I highly recommend him for any creative project — his unique perspective and artistic integrity would be a valuable asset”
- ANDERSON WEST, FILMMAKER“Ryan created an inclusive and supportive environment where every student felt comfortable experimenting with ideas and developing their own voice. His guidance was practical, insightful, and tailored to the pupils’ needs. Several students commented afterwards that the session was so enjoyable and beneficial that an hour simply wasn’t enough—they wanted more time to learn from him.”
