Maggie Rose

I have 30 plus years experience developing, designing and making hands-on, interactive and educational exhibits for Museums and Science Centres. I now have my own business offering consultancy in the field and designing and producing exhibits. My experience includes, concept design, exhibit development and prototyping, evaluation and feasibility assessment, production and install. It is a wonderfully interesting and enjoyable mission. I have also developed an interactive donation box for museums and science centres that amuses and informs the visitors as they make their generous donations.  

Jacqueline is the artist behind Willow and Crafts, a full-time willow sculptor creating bespoke, sustainable artworks for homes, events, and public spaces. With a passion for nature and years of experience, she transforms natural materials into expressive, handcrafted sculptures that bring warmth and character to any setting. She also runs friendly, relaxing willow weaving workshops-welcoming spaces where anyone can unwind, get creative, and connect with nature, no experience needed.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist, and freelance illustrator and designer specialising in arts education, book arts, stop-frame animation, model making, and graphic design. I am a part-time lecturer on the BA Illustration course at the University of Portsmouth in the School of Architecture, Art and Design. I run my small-press publishing platform, Micro Library Books, exhibiting at illustration fairs in the UK and internationally, and since 2001 I have co-run an arts education partnership, Borbonesa, founded with fellow artists. The arts education projects I work on often focus on wellbeing and community, such as Stories in Transit, which aims to establish the right of displaced individuals to cultural expression.
