Dan regularly engages with school groups and community forums to inform his public art commissions. Workshops can be practical such as printmaking, creating collages, doing observational drawings or using clay or card to make things. They can also be discussion based, working with small groups to generate new and exciting ideas so that the final artwork reflects the community. Here are some examples of his public engagement.
