Megan Dowsett is a freelance creative consultant working with museums and galleries.

Through the name Norris and the Flamingo, she shares the sense of adventure that runs through all of life, wherever we are on our journey. A sense of imagination, of possibility and discovery, for children and adults alike.

Her core values come down to two simple things:

People: At the heart of everything she does, people are there – be it audiences of any age or background, volunteers, staff or freelancers and apprentices. She believes that the best projects take everybody with them on a learning journey.

Creativity: In every role she’s taken, creativity has played a key priority. Working in Museums and Galleries, creativity brings a valuable opportunity to think about the same things in a different way.

Museums and galleries are the perfect place to bring the joy of discovery and magic of adventure to everyone who passes through the doors - and to invite those who haven't yet braved these sometimes intimidating buildings, to do so in a dynamic and inviting way.

Over twelve years working in these exciting settings, Megan has developed extensive experience in both managing and delivering creative projects that engage with a wide variety of audiences.

Work in Progress

20170514_121830 I made a touchy-feely playmat for Feets when she was a baby, using rag rug techniques. For Bean, I've been working on a crochet mat. It may possibly be finished before she leaves home, but in the mean time I thought I'd share the work so far! 20170514_120614
It was inspired by two things ... the need to vacate the artroom and use up all my materials, and by this crochet bag that I was given years ago, which has always inspired me with its 'crazy crochet', varied, textured techneiques.

And, actually, by this crochet reef for similar reasons. 

And by our trip to Mauritius last year when Bean really was as small as a bean (was it really just last year?! I am ten years older!) - so I am making, loosely, a lucious, green island, spilling onto a thin sliver of beach lapped by azure waves ...
