About Amy
Hi! I’m Amy Langdown, a creative from Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
I have a passion for working with the community to produce and develop creative projects.
Not everyone gets the opportunity to be creative, and I’ve made it my job to change that.
Wondering what I’m up to? Check out my instagram!
Facilitating
My work with a range of groups to deliver sessions on a variety of artistic pursuits.
Producing
I produce both one-off and reoccuring events, as well as long-term projects.
Illustrating
I make graphics and create illustrations to support clients and projects.
Writing
I am mainly a performance poet, also writing for the page and stage.
OUT OF YOUR HEAD!
Out of Your Head is a one-of-a-kind spoken word event for those of us who think too much and share too little, running out of The Cumberland Arms, Newcastle. It happens on the last Thursday of every month – come along!

Writing & Poetry
I am primarily a performance poet, writing a lot about the current political climate in the UK and the wider world, but also on topics such as introspection, family and landscapes. I also write for page and stage.
Illustration & Design
As an Illustrator and a Designer, I work to create art that speaks to the world we live in today. It’s important to me that everyone has accessible, culture-first, design.

2023 Recap
2023 – What a year!
2023 was a big year for me career-wise; it the first year I have been able to do full-time as a freelance creative practitioner.
I was seeing other 2023 freelance recap posts all over Instagram and wasn’t sure I’d even done enough to justify one, but then I started flicking through my calendar and camera roll and realised…I’ve done loads!
Where did January go?
I’m not sure about anyone else, but I feel as though January has just disappeared. I celebrated the New Year, and now it’s nearly at the end of February!
How I Got to ‘Where We Are’
A few months ago, I was commissioned by Apples and Snakes (the national board for spoken word poetry) to create a one-minute poetry video about ‘the North’, as a part of their ‘Future voices’ project, to celebrate 40 years of Apples and Snakes. I have never made a...

Apples and Snakes Artist Spotlight
This week, I was given the opportunity to feature on the Apples and Snakes website as a part of their Artist Spotlight. I was so excited, and sent along my responses as quickly as I could! I was sent a set of questions to answer about my writing, inspirations and me...
