Anthea Godfrey - Group Mentor

I received my BA Hons Embroidery followed by my Art Teachers Diploma at Goldsmiths College with Constance Howard, Christine Risley, Eirian Short. and went on to do a number of teaching stints in primary, secondary, mental health, prisons (Dr Lywards in Kent) and St Christopher’s, a Montessori boarding school in Letchworth. Then I went as an art teacher to Acland Burghley School in Tufnell Park (a social priority comprehensive school), where I helped to form the first Creative Art Department in the country: bringing together art, dance drama and music in collaborative cutting edge productions which formed core of the BBC education programmes in creative studies involving kinetics and lighting. During that time I became Creative Director of a performance group which took over from Pan’s People, designing sets, costumes and lighting.
