Needle Felting Workshops for Secondary Schools (KS3–KS5)

​

Creative Enrichment Workshops Tailored to Your Curriculum, Project Themes and Learning Objectives

​

With over 15 years of experience teaching Art & Design across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, I understand curriculum requirements, assessment objectives, and how to engage students of different ages and abilities. As both a practising artist and experienced secondary Art teacher, I design workshops that are creative, purposeful and directly linked to your department's learning goals.

​

Whether you have a fully developed project in mind or would like a workshop linked to a particular artist, theme, technique or area of study, I can create and deliver a bespoke session tailored specifically to your students.

​

My workshops provide students with the opportunity to explore textiles through the exciting process of needle felting, developing creativity, technical skills and personal responses while supporting curriculum objectives.
