Petra Cox

Petra is a big fan of Sir Joseph Bazalgette, having spent 8 years at Crossness Pumping Station, the southern outfall of his sewer system for London.

Her background is in the arts and following a Fine Art degree, she trained as a prop-maker and went on to design the sets and props for historical drama documentaries and over 30 education series for the BBC. She started delivering creative activity workshops for schools and community groups and found huge joy working directly with audiences which inspired me to gain a PGCE teaching qualification.

Since 2009, Petra has worked in the museum education arena connecting a broad range of audiences with historical collections, sites and stories.
