An Exciting Practical Face-To-Face Textiles Skills Course, 
for Teachers of GCSE & A Level Textiles, for both Art & Design and D&T.



Review:  ‘Put simply, this is the best course I’ve ever been on.
Excellent pace and delivery with resources sent afterwards as well. We learnt so many techniques and then practised them for ourselves too! We also learnt how our students could develop them further. We did so many samples of each of the techniques with a variety of materials and processes. Viewing exemplar sketchbooks at the end was a great way to conclude the day.
I’ve come home, buzzing with excitement, feeling inspired and well prepared for the next academic year. I would highly recommend! Great course, delivered by a lovely team! Thank you so much!’ Alice Munro – June 24, 2023

Moderator’s comments:
“Textile candidates’ personal portfolios were brimming with ideas, experiments and references to textile and fashion designers as well as fine artists. Overall, the submission was exceptional in the engagement and industry and imaginative use of materials.’ 
'In Textiles, the standard of the work was outstanding…The course structure was strong. Finished pieces were often exciting and innovative. The individuality of the candidates was clearly seen in the diversity of colours, styles and techniques carefully annotated in work books and then displayed in the final outcomes.”
“The course gave candidates a very strong framework on which to build a response to the theme. Ideas were developed showing depth and thought so that the work of the highest achieving candidates was original, creative and in-depth.”
