My name is Gaby Weigert. From the start I spent every spare minute creating, making, cutting and sticking. My favourite thing to do was when my parents asked me to look after a visitor's younger child and I would create activities for them often creating a lot of mess! I complete my degree at Glasgow School of Art in Textiles where I got to experiment with loads of dyes, printing processes and techniques. I continued my love of printmaking at Camberwell College of Art with an MA in Fine Art Printmaking

​

I began as a community artist all around Southwark in pupil referral units, young offenders centres and trying to get truanting kids back to school through a love of art. I then taught in secondary schools for 16 years. It was when I had my own children that I discovered that to my shock, most primary schools have almost no art in their curriculum. I began to volunteer and ABSOLUTELY loved it. I decided I wanted to teach art in a primary school. I am so lucky to work three days in a lovely primary school where I get to teach children from Reception to year 6 everything from drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and more. 

​

The reason I started Primary Colours Art Workshops was because I want to give other young people the opportunity to create and experiment with materials they probably don't get to use at school. I have a lovely art studio built by Alexei (my husband and also a teacher) in our garden. I can also travel to your home or school for parties or workshops too.
