It’s with some sadness I write this post, but it’s time for me to move on to pastures new. I’ve enjoyed working with the Learning Teams at the Manchester Museum and the Whitworth Art Gallery and with the many teachers and children who have visited and taken part in sessions and projects.
I have many memories of the 3 years I’ve been here – too many to spell out, so I’m going for the photo-montage approach. I hope you’ll imagine some suitably cheesy music playing over the top…

You will be greatly missed Neil, it’s been fabulous to work with you and be influenced by your passion!
However, I must reassure readers that Neil will still be invited to work with us on projects and iniatives via the Rennaisance, so he isn’t lost to us forever (yet!).
