I am delighted to see the publication of Artist-Teacher-Practice and the Expectation of an Aesthetic Life. This book, with its excellent combination of sophisticated theory and frontline ethnographic research, makes a vitally important contribution to research into the concept and practices of the artist-teacher movement. The author has a strong personal grounding in the classroom as an artist teacher herself that has enabled her to make this powerful analysis of the movement in context.Jeff Adams, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Chester; Fellow of the National Society for Education in Art and Design.
