Short Bio: Tim is a member of the Artworks studio in Sheffield. Much like Henshaws' own Arts and Crafts centre, this organisation aims to challenge people’s perceptions of learning disabilities and autism through celebrating the creativity and ambition of their artists. They focus on achievement, self-belief, collaborative practice and teamwork whilst supporting their artists to play an active role within their community.
ArtWorks SY was founded in 2015 to support artists with learning disabilities, autism or both in accessing opportunities from the creative industries. It started in one community centre in Sheffield supporting just 15 artists and has now grown to support 80 artists.
