Simon Tipping

Route Canal Arts is a new venture for community artist and entrepreneur Simon Tipping, focusing on art in education and family learning settings. Fine arts trained, Simon Tipping has over 30 years experience of working with people, young and old and has spent much of the last 15 years working in the carnival sector and on street arts events. Simon provides an outlet of expression influenced by history, culture and tradition; he help facilitate the best possible opportunities in creative and cultural experiences for educational and community settings. The art forms he can provide include visual arts – drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpting and textiles; performing arts – among them music (Samba and Indian Dhol), dance, puppeteering, and theatre. Some art forms will combine a visual element with performance e.g. carnival, film, lantern parades and festivals. Banbury
