Lewisham Art Hub Weaving Workshop [2020]

The Blühen Studio was asked to curate a weaving workshop for primary & secondary school teachers working in the London Borough of Lewisham. During the workshop, the participants would receive personal demonstrations on weaving techniques, and one-on-one guidance from myself to help inspire them to create lesson plans to boost the arts for students in the borough.

The workshop focused on teaching techniques and ideas that were sufficiently easy for non-specialists, and that included creating artworks with materials that could be easily found or cheap to purchase. In addition, I incorporated ideas that could be adapted for EYFS and up to Yr6 and secondary, and ways in which weaving techniques could be used across the curriculum.
