Arts Award Home Educating Club (Learn a Skill): Fleece to Fabric one
Come join us at Significant Seams Apple Studio and Creativity Acre for a fun project based learning session that can contribute to the national qualification 'Arts Award.'
In this session we will explore the transformation of sheep fleece into fabric. We will spin wool, wet felt and needle felt. In addition to art, there are ecological and science aspects that will be explored. We will also have observing sheep in the fields of adjacent farms.
This hands-on workshop is perfect for home educating families looking for inspiring activities to fuel project based learning. Let your curiousity loose in a supportive and inclusive environment.
This series of workshops is designed with the requirements of the Bronze and Silver Arts Award in mind. Participation can also contribute towards the skills requirement of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
Bronze Arts Award is a qualification on the National Framework, moderated by Trinity College London. The Award encourages project based learning and creative ways of demonstrating progress. The award is assessed against each participant's progress and learning rather than achieving specific knowledge points. A candidate will need to evidence progress around four areas of learning. These are framed as:
- Learning a skill
- Learning about an artist and their practice and inspiration
- Being an audience member
- Sharing a skill
Find out more in the Significant Seams Arts Award Leaflet. Silver Arts Award candidates are welcome.
The cost of this event is specifically for one participant in this workshop. Significant Seams is an Arts Award Centre and can advise and assess a candidate's submission for the award. Optional add-ons for this workshop include a Bronze Award workbook and a package of arts award advising meetings. Assessment is booked seperately when a candidate is ready to submit.
Enquiries regarding group booking arrangements (and relevant discounts) are welcome. Enquiries regarding assessment of Arts Award programmes not delivered via Significant Seams are also welcome.
