ArtisOn is run by a small but perfectly formed team.
ELISE BARRON
Elise is a trained facilitator, experienced event organiser, and a dab hand at designing and delivering courses, having worked for over 14 years in Outreach and Engagement roles in the Environmental and Higher Education sectors. Having seen the power of bringing people together to share ideas and skills, Elise is passionate about the power of community and the potential of what we can achieve together.
Elise flexes her own artistic muscles through lino and collagraph printmaking and messes about with clay occasionally too.
JOE TOOGOOD
Joe brings with him lots of people focused energy, creativity and fun. His background is in primary education, where he always placed art and creativity at the centre of his teaching practice. He is a passionate believer in the transformative power that learning new skills and modes of expression can give to us all.
In his spare time, Joe is an avid knitter, sketcher, musician and amateur weaver.
NICK BARRON
Nick brings a powerful combination of tech know-how and creativity to the team. He has 17 years experience working in website design and development, including delivering award-winning projects for clients in the arts, education and not-for-profit sectors. He co-founded his own digital agency in 2011, so has a great practical understanding of what it takes to grow and run a business day-to-day.
Although his role in the running of ArtisOn is largely behind the scenes, digital design isn’t the only creative avenue he explores, as he’s also a musician and always has a photography or filming project on the go.
Beavering away in the ArtisOn kitchen is Vicky Smith, our talented chef who manages to rustle up healthy, flavourful and delicious lunches for our customers. Providing a proper two course lunch is something we pride ourselves on, to help ensure a day at ArtisOn really is a treat!
When Vicky is unavailable, we source our scrumptious lunches from Angel Share Bakery – which offers a lot more than just baked goods!
