About your mentors
Suffolk Libraries
Where I belong.
We’re the independent charity that runs Suffolk’s library service. We nurture children’s literacy, support vulnerable people and promote wellbeing across Suffolk.
Toto (Antonio Reche Martinez)
Creation is life, life is creation.
I am a Spanish National and an Artist. My love for the different arts disciplines make me an all round artist. I have my degree from the London School of Fashion in special effects for movies and theatre. This three year course provided me with ample knowledge in make-up costume, sets, puppetry and special effects. I then worked 9 years in a pantomime company, designing and making all the aspect of the production. All my life I’ve been working in different disciplines in the Arts. I also use my knowledge to present workshops for adults and children, something that I love to do. I have diplomas in Drawing, Ceramics and in Teaching for adult education. For several years I was a Spanish language assistant at a middle school, where I also ran many art workshops, including award winning designs for local carnivals. In 2004 I came third in an important costume competition, awarded by Zandra Rhodes. More recently, I have published my first illustrated children’s book, “The Frog’s Kiss”. I can be writing for a long time but that I think gives you a little idea of me.

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
