I love how art asks us to take another look from different perspectives, and to ask questions. I think it’s a reminder we all need from time to time, and a great source of inspiration for children.

Headteacher | Cygnets Art School West Brighton
Meet Saya
Having graduated from Cardiff School for Art & Design, Saya’s main passion is for ceramics and sculpting. Having been fortunate enough to work and exhibit around the world, she eventually settled in Brighton with an Art Studio in New England House.
Saya has been teaching art in one form or another for the past ten years: “I love how art asks us to take another look from different perspectives, and to ask questions. I think it’s a reminder we all need from time to time, and a great source of inspiration for children.”
