In brief:
Throughout 1999/10 David Reling-Burns was self-employed
as a Graphic Designer, living and working in the UK. Offset with his day
to day work, designing marketing materials and large-format printings
for various borough councils and the private sector, he also became
involved in producing public art projects. The opportunities that
arrived often involved the creation of workshops; what with communities
feeling, and quite rightly, entitled to a stake in the development of
their future surroundings. Working as a CRB approved lead artist, his
work coincided with a large-scale government programme intended to build
so-called Schools for the Future. David received specialist training to run workshops via ‚Creative Partnerships
– the government’s flagship creative learning programme, established in
2002 to develop young people’s creativity across England.‘ He has since
run workshops with children of all ages; with young adults; within
mixed communities; with pensioners and even prison inmates.
