It also developed and produced over 60% of the steel-cored conductors for the National Grid. This piece reflects my response to global warming and the current energy crises, with desk fans desperately trying to find sockets and rows of pound signs sitting like crows on the wires, watching and waiting for prey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1717855112789-LFSNSYWCNJEEC6IDESMO/neutrophil+costumes+dress+rehearsal.jpg Design Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1508752992500-Q34TH0VBEKSSLWO8TAUV/3D+9.jpg Design Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1507728859991-0WJISVVNKYANZVERVYIB/keneishmac.jpg Design Projects - All Seeing - VIGOUR National Tour Costume Design/Making - Heidi Luker Choreography - Keisha Grant The choreography was inspired by an African stone carving of an owl and Keisha wanted to reflect elements of owls and their feathers. I was also fascinated by the intrinsic way owls used their eyes and I decided to make this the focus of my design. The costumes are mirrors of each other so that there are sometimes moments when there are two eyes looking at you and there is always one eye facing the audience.

consultation workshops Pinxton Infants School was invited by Creative Partnerships to undertake a play ground design enquiry. On the list of requirements by pupils, teachers were an outside classroom, an interactive den making area, a sensory play area and a vegetable garden with insect homes. Working with Reception and Years 1-2, I carried out a series of exploratory workshops looking at materials for den making, models and drawn plans of garden designs using natural materials and Play Mobile figures to show scale. Pupils worked collaboratively in teams and presented their designs and ideas to the class. We also had an exhibition of all work and photos for parents/carers to obtain feedback. The most popular elements were then drawn up by myself and the school decided to commission the construction and landscaping of it. Some changes were made because of cost such as the grass and pond, however they can be added in over time. The school held an opening ceremony to which I was invited to cut the ribbon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1688731824105-YZG0MNNTBLYXLJXW49F4/Normanton%2BTiger.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1688731875808-HPTPYSOHQE7RS94DW972/Normanton+Tiger.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1572871642338-RYWVVKN26KUUT5CKNYKG/Through+the+Keyhole+Installation+2.jpg Community Arts Projects - Through The Keyhole wire installation A commission for the Derwent Valley Mills, Great Places Scheme - Managed and Produced by Beam and featured in the Derbyshire Discovery Days event. Lead Artist and Community Arts Practioner Funded by Arts Council England and National Heritage Funding I explored the wire drawing manufacturing industrial heritage of Millford Village by creating a 3D wire contoured map of the village, as it sits within the UNESCO Derwent Valley World Heritage Site. I was also keen to acknowledge the more recent production of hydro energy from the Derwent river using LED lighting strips on wire reels, creating a platform for the map, placed on the church floor. Visitors were invited to block print their own workers cottage, using a set of blocks I had made, punch a keyhole and hang the ‘cottage’ and some of the main buildings, to recreate Millford village. Local families wrote their names on the back of the cards and placed them on the map to show where they lived, so we could see who was Through the Keyhole! The keyhole was lit from behind by the lighting strips so that in the holes were visible and reflected an old tale, that night watch men could see which families were staying up late before work in the factory and mill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1510568955021-CQPOJHG74G333PS13BHV/The+Space+Probe+-+Heather+Wood+Special+School%2C+Doncaster+%28Learning+Disabled%29.+Silver+Arts+Award+Project Community Arts Projects - The can do - 'SPACE PRobe' Project - Lead Artist Commissioned by Can Do of the Leonard Cheshire Disability Charity - I was asked to explore the theme of Mobility and Accessibility by transforming an old electric wheelchair into an art work. I led a series of design and making workshops at Heatherwood Special School in Doncaster as part of a Silver Arts Award with Sixth Formers. The project related to their current theme of sustainability so we included recycled materials in the designing of a one person discovery space ship using the wheelchair as the internal structure. The reason being that 'in space you don't need legs to move'. The Space Probe was exhibited in the transport section of Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery and featured in the Doncaster DNWeekEND Arts Festival - Village of Dreams event in Doncaster, 2016, together with flying space rocket workshops. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1614077997857-ZTBS3NXESD6KS1I8S9AI/paper+building+1.jpg Community Arts Projects - Paper SCULPTING The beauty of paper is that it is easy to work with. You fold, scrunch, cut, glue, staple or stick with tape to create instant objects. I have run drop-in workshops at Wirksworth Festival for participants to make a hat for the end of day community procession. Family sessions at Derby Museums have also produced some amazing structures, pirate ships, houses and even plates of favourite food using different kinds of coloured paper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1518869591184-45VGNC9ZORRCH53ZNPZC/secret+garden+clay+and+mosaic.jpg Community Arts Projects - The Secret Gardens - Lead Artist Sculptural ceramics, paper modelling, fabric painting and mosaics were some of the mediums explored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1689847893063-0H7NG9HYAVQQJZD08LZG/MG_8825-682x1024%5B1%5D.jpg Community Arts Projects - WEB OF WATER interactive installation, Public Participatory Arts Project - Lead Artist As part of the Web of Water Project, funded by Arts Council England and National Heritage, I designed an interactive installation that was created throughout the summer at multi-cultural festivals in the East Midlands and community events. The public were invited to paint, write or print images of what water meant to them, onto fabric, that was sewn onto wire fluid shapes to create flowing water that explored the impact of flooding in an enclosed space. It was exhibited during Derby Feste at Deda Dance Centre where visitors could move the pieces around the space, like flooding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1614005105397-G5877NI593CIEBYXGNHY/print%2Bparty%281%29.jpg Community Arts Projects - Block printing Ideal as one-off activity for individual or group art works for events or an educational theme. Blocks can be created by participants, to reflect a chosen theme or their own designs or they can work with my own collection of readymade block prints. The printing can be printed onto fabric (scarves) or paper using fabric paints and carried out as a group artwork, ideal for schools or community groups or individually. Water based inks can be used or fabric or acrylic paint. This is very achievable in a single workshop for groups of ten to twenty and as mistakes blend in as part of the overall picture, adding to the character of a print, everyone can contribute equally. With Creating Calm session for adults, Derby Museums - “A beautiful ninety minutes with the chance to create different pieces. Very relaxing. Time flew by. Thank you!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613989789166-ZDHWN6ZCIGNUV5HM7V1A/5.Pottery+053.jpg Community Arts Projects - Closing the Circle Closing the Circle refers to the Native American belief that when trust has been broken in a tribe then the circle of trust should be mended by the person who broke it. 'Closing the Circle' - Public Stone Seating Area National Stone Centre, Middleton, Derbyshire Lead Artist/Project Manager in collaboration with Derbyshire Youth Offending Reparation Service and the National Stone Centre and featured in the National Justice Awards. I designed the carvings and seating area, inspired by pre-historic sea life that would have existed in the area and taught stone carving on a one to one basis to young offenders. I also project managed the building of a semi-circle seating area with the base relief carved seat toppings. The wall was constructed by young offenders and dry-wall builders, providing valuable work experience in local skills. One of the main benefits of working with stone carving are the positive outcomes in terms of anger management and dealing with set backs. Young people are able to quickly learn how to deal with change and come up with a Plan B when mistakes are made or bits of stone fall off. The first two carvings shown were carried out by young people as I carved alongside them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613990273584-O3NEWDGPI1KMD8PVQXHT/3.closing+the+circle+002.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613989849362-W925VDDADXC6WDV299EM/2.+closing+the+circle+003.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613989874396-WNSKS35IL8ERJ8HD7OU3/1.closing+the+circle+001.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613989957175-TZECDRNOOYUGQK81L726/stone+circle+020.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613989918904-3HP6ND1S5AA1OYOY2OPJ/stone+circle+017.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613989985045-HS08RJA4PXF9PNVIR274/stone+circle+016.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613990025000-RP13GLZUTYJ76T5XNX3E/stone+circle+019.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613990062711-ER325Q4PFB1M0VM5C1QK/stone+circle+018.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1573064049081-OQYYB6GO4C9MSU3DIBPE/This+is+Derby+model.jpg Community Arts Projects - This is derby - Lead Designer Outdoor event to celebrate the youth of Derby.

I was Lead Designer for the event, designing the main stage and transforming Derby Market Place into an ‘Urban Jungle’, I also liaised with all community groups and arts organisations to ensure they had procession costumes and with their design input, I designed/made costumes that reflected a tropical jungle theme such as insects and birds, including flying insects costumes for Aerial Trapeze group at Deda Dance Centre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1614001177466-Y3SC65XWFRHEADPCK81B/drawing.jpg Community Arts Projects - Drawing workshops We can explore mark making, textures, portrait and landscape drawing techniques and look at different approaches to seeing. Suitable for adults, young people and children. Observational Drawing - This is suitable for all ages and levels of experience, including very young children. Sessions explore the skills associated with observational drawing such as line and marks, shape and form, tone and texture and composition. By having first hand experience of drawing from life, they can observe, question and interact with interesting objects relating to a theme. With Junction Arts, Get Creative Kids - Summer Project, Cresswell, South Normanton and South Normanton in Derbyshire (ages 2-15) as well as their Tapton Lock Festival “A fabulous activity! The children were really engaged and clearly enjoyed it. Some of the children returned and drew more than one object. It was wonderful to see their progress in such a short time, in skills, concentration and ability to look carefully at detail....it has so many spinoffs in learning. What a joy to be part of!!” - Christine Holmes, Retired Head Teacher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1689848450166-L9KY09180YG8G0RKXWCL/Web+of+Water%2C+Indian+Festival%2C+Leicester.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1689847972247-1ZLFQMIQMHQN5ID4JYPJ/MG_8849-682x1024%5B1%5D.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1689848944021-CKVGA4TV8XJJJFKJ0TV1/water%2C%2Bplaying%2Bgirl.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1665410515150-55984J8T21ZX8TI66PGO/exhibition1.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1665410585174-SU8FTIAVV54YYKXA7T31/making+the+paper+figues.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1665410681923-I0KTP4NGLW3FT8S61FC9/Secret+Garden+exhibition.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1665410788195-BD1IKF7PK1ZIXZF8AQKW/secret+garden+figures.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1572870827874-V844I4IRGIPOEOJN3IJP/keyhole+8.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1572870878482-Q8HRYT0KWFSE88UNXA8N/keyhole+6.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1572870917976-Y2HXYOZLIF73P0AV3TGN/keyhole+5.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1572870981833-13JHLJUPEWGR5P8RUH2W/keyhole+7.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1669292140457-2X6KDEHFFB7XHU1WH37I/clay+mask+using+imprints.jpg Community Arts Projects - WORLD CULTURE INSPIRED WORKSHOPS Working as a freelance Family Arts Facilitator at Derby Museums offers an immense amount of inspiration from their World Cultures Gallery. Exploring texture, colour, patterns, shapes and geometric lines, I have delivered workshops using ready cut and found shapes to create clay masks with imprinted patterns. For this I have found that air drying clay offers an immediate outcome and can be painted. Cut out shapes can also be used in fabric surface design, using hessian on the designs above and designing textile patterns that emulate patterns found throughout the world. I have also used photos of masks and art for participants to gain further ideas from. Clay and fabric surface design with Derby Museums, Junction Arts - Get Creative Kids, Artcore - Innocence and Expression Workshops and Birmingham NHS Trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613995603761-2JYFWNHT05UIPTK7CF3A/garden%2B1.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613995622242-BSUVTDTGQXY7CXBV36VT/green%2Bmodel.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613995581570-6XQ6GKCB8ZV91HDMAJKH/Pinxton%2Bden%2Bplans.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613995643135-ZYNRMIDGHFWNNJGOFK2J/group%2Blooking%2Bat%2Bmodel.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613995671739-CRPTDG7S20J9JOIT5M1G/overall%2Bimage%2Bof%2BPinxton%2BPlayground.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613995689844-W0UT5P6QTNO5WLNFMCA7/Pinxton%2BPlayground%2B4.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672930775296-0C6HHBTGA5MMH3GL4QLJ/Womens+eve.jpg Community Arts Projects - Ambergate Wireworks - The Part They Played A sculptural immersive installation, soundscape and film, exploring the industrial and social legacy of the Ambergate Wireworks. Sculptural artist, collaborative community arts practitioner and project coordinator. Funded by Arts Council England and The National Lottery following a successful application by myself and delivered as a co-production with Derby Museum of Making as an R & D Project. Working in collaboration with local artist, Lise Bennett, one aim of the project, was to improve community cohesion in the small village of Ambergate. Over eight months, we ran a series of community engagement wire sculpting workshops, aimed at ex-workers, intergenerational women sessions through women’s craft evenings, teens, primary schools and general public through events such as the National Open Gardens and the Ambergate carnival. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1631214837342-95BXAYWC6FLQFIY0UKX9/Fatima.png Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1614071789324-DMJ10CRZNTLLFXAYFL2Z/bock+3.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1614071832148-IN1VIDKMQISBRCFIJXRB/block+5.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1626013699150-F67HE7T7QG84D1EPJAKT/milford+3.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672675476628-1D00Y92I5SX7EOZQ28FH/Branching+Out.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1666000269676-3WJ1F3NA44912BMSI8YK/magic+branch.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1666000323324-5E9X2QVSWAYPVF49ASFG/womens+wire+eve+1.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672675722558-437D1SRA4LAT4XQIPA6L/womens+eve+2.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672675671237-NS0JH3XGP3CP5MHS5ZYC/st+Annes.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1666000361125-NWNPUQIFIL7FQEMR4GUV/womens+craft+2.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1666000450119-1FFZ71VPKWX37JNKIIGO/bullrushes.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672675429431-7BMGFS46D1YPJ2MMQTZB/Ambergate+school+mini+exhibition.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672675523460-8J0UUP4KVKT36CGZ0VTU/duck+artwork.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672675578779-8SKXLKHNIAFZO90MJSEH/reception+water+life.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1672675626121-CFW4Q41AH83NH5EXUREJ/crichcarr+1.jpg Community Arts Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1613991332981-E9FB0O48O2YYGRLEMAS1/1.SDC10589.JPG Community Arts Projects - LOve the Wood and the Stone Love the Wood and the Stones' - Public Stone Seating Area, Stoney Wood, Wirksworth, Derbyshire. Lead Artist and Project Manager I devised, designed and project managed the building of stone seating areas in public places as community arts projects. 'Love the Wood and the Stones' The images depicted carvings from the woods nature and wildlife based on research by a group of behaviour support pupils as part of their ASDAN Award, from the local Anthony Gell School in Wirksworth. Funded by the Derbyshire County Council Youth Service - Youth Opportunities Fund and used as ‘Best example of public cohesion’. One of the best outcomes for this project was the ownership and commitment the participants showed for the work. Some came in early during lunchtimes when I was setting up or in their spare periods to work on their stone and two year seven pupils who found it difficult to concentrate in class environments asked to join the group. 'Love the Wood and the Stones' was the title chosen by the young people who carried out the carvings in a series of workshops, to reflect its past as a stone quarry and its transformation into a new wood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1615556784601-6YOXQPVN70PX8T0X36FT/%27Linda+di+Chamonix%27+-+Pierotto.jpg Community Arts Projects - Costume design Costume and Character Development Workshops I have delivered workshops for young people at Buxton Opera House as part of Learning and Participation, Victoria Hall Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent, Ambassador Theatre Group as well as Derby Museums. We looked at how to draw costume designs, research ideas and historical periods, choosing fabric samples to create mood boards. Reading parts of a text, from a play or novel and discussing the different characters enabled us to put together character profiles and build a picture of what they would wear for the part. This workshop can be adapted to school drama curriculums and during a costume and character development session with an A Level Devised Drama group, one student said, “talking through the needs of my part with Heidi was the first time I actually felt like an actor”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1507577856783-IH6SHVGF9USK3I55S0YX/close+up+of+Dean+Street+banner.jpg Community Arts Projects https://www.heidiluker.co.uk/heidiluker/theatredesigner/artist/communityarts daily 0.75 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d2036de45a7c855f7b1f6b/1631214108233-KZE9U4GMQZ8ER64D1QJU/new+selfie+%283%29.jpg About
