Simon demostrating stone carving at Blenheim Arts Fair.
Simon Keeley was selected to be a featured artist by the Channel 4 programme makers for Kirstie’s Home Made Home series 2 which started on Tuesday 2nd November - December 6th. Simon Keeley appeared as a featured artist on November 16th.
Simon was recommended to work with a couple on the show, Luke and Gabi. He was asked if Luke being disabled would pose a problem? to which he replied ‘definitely not’ and set up a meeting. It was arranged that Simon would create ‘Garden Markers’, these would have words carved on them by Kirstie, Luke and Gabi.
A teaching set up was arranged and filming of the teaching session was led by Simon Keeley. This was a great success, the three students did really well, in a very limited time frame.
