Outreach Projects at your Schools or College
You may prefer for our crafts people to visit you at your school/college. We are happy to arrange talks/demonstration or workshops at your venue.
For Staff and Teachers
Professional Development
A unique opportunity to learn new skills such as feltmaking, fabric manipulation, sculpture, printmaking. Workshops can be tailored to suit your needs.
We currently do not have funding to subsidise these training days. However if you are able to organise a group of colleagues from your cluster group of schools then the costs to individual schools would be greatly reduced. Suggested number of 8 to 10 teachers.
