A BIT ABOUT ME

Short & Few Profile Pic

a teacher and doer of the creative arts

This is me - Zoe Platt - founder of Short & Few, artist educator and graphics practitioner. My education and training background is in graphic design and typography, and over time my practice has become more process-driven, with a hands-on and analogue approach to image-making. Alongside my creative engagement workshops and freelance graphic design practice, I am a qualified art and design tutor in the lifelong learning sector, with close to ten year's experience teaching a range of subjects across fine art, textiles and graphic communication. I am at my best when I am doing creative things - whether this is making books or prints, or working with others and supporting them to find their best creative selves.

my mission is to
INSPIRE
EMPOWER
ENGAGE

I am a big believer in learning by doing and making mistakes as a form of enquiry, an ethos which underpins my teaching. I love the buzz of seeing what people make when they are in their flow state and seeing where the process is taking them. I want to inspire people to develop a curiosity for what the arts can be about for them, and provide opportunities and learning experiences to get started and keep going.
