About me
Adam is a freelance artist with over 20 years experience of engaging people in creative practice. His approach incorporates traditional techniques alongside digital technologies, including games based learning. A forefront creator within the online Minecraft community, he has instigated numerous groundbreaking Minecraft projects and is widely involved in the use of Minecraft within cultural, heritage and educational settings. In 2012, he was amongst the winners of the Geovation Award "GeoCraft" for an ambitious environmental project using Minecraft, and worked with archeologists and curators on the Tullie House Museums At Night project, to create an interactive event based around his online Minecraft map of Hadrian's Wall. His popular Game School YouTube Channel programme "101 Ideas for Minecraft Learners" is featured on the CodeCampus KS3 Computing Resource website. He enjoys the process of creative collaboration and encourages the international exchange of ideas and expertise to realise innovative projects.
He works widely across the UK and co-runs The Invisible Orchard, a family based arts studio and digital atelier in rural Cumbria, offering events and courses including Minecraft and coding. The focus of the studio, and of Adam's work in general, is to engage people of all ages in creative collaboration, where ideas and art arise from playing, creating and discovering together.
