Art Trail Spotlight: Meet Jordan Harcourt-Hughes: Artist, Writer and Short Course Coordinator
From large-scale metalwork installations to painting and writing, 
Jordan Harcourt-Hughes has explored a range of creative practices throughout her life. Now based on the Kāpiti Coast, Jordan brings that curiosity and love of experimentation to her role as TLC’s Short Course Coordinator, connecting people with artists and workshops that offer new ways to explore their creativity.
Ahead of the Lower Hutt Art Trail, we caught up with Jordan to talk about her own creative journey, what she loves about bringing people together through art, and her upcoming Artist Talk, Journey of the Rabbit, at TLC’s LAB Gallery.
Kia ora Jordan. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your journey as an artist?
What inspires your own creative practice?
As an artist and TLC’s Short Course Coordinator, what do you enjoy most about seeing people take part in a workshop or evening class?
You’ll be giving an Artist Talk in TLC’s LAB Gallery at 2pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Can you tell us a bit about your talk?
You’ll also have your own artwork on display in Studio T2.27, alongside information on the Short Courses. Can you tell us about the work you’re bringing along?
Jordan is one of TLC’s artists in the Lower Hutt Art Trail, here at TLC, over the weekend of 17 – 18 October, and will be based in T2.27 (Taylor Building, 2nd Floor). Jordan will also be giving Artist Talks on both Saturday and Sunday at 2pm in the LAB Gallery (Ground Floor of the Taylor building).
