"Jodie Smith brought her visual art expertise to this year’s Creative Voice Festival which took place at Princes Quay during October half term 2025. She ran her workshop as part of a creative space that had been set up to support young people’s health and wellbeing and was in response to young people’s feedback. Jodie responded to the brief encouraging young people to think creatively about their own wellbeing with participants able to create their own artworks to take away. It was a public event so Jodie was also well prepared to deal with a wide range of ages and abilities and she was always very welcoming and inclusive."
