Summary
Mary is a passionate outreach astronomer, combining her love of astronomy with the arts.
Full biography
I have delivered many children's craft workshops at festivals, doing things like making a model of the Sun, creating a model of the Milky Way galaxy, introduction to lunar sketching, etc. These have been done online and in person (please note that in-person craft activities have a small additional charge to cover craft materials used)
I help Beavers, Cubs and Scouts with their astronomy badges and can deliver talks to school classes on specific subjects of their choice.
