Weaving Together a Story of Place

2022

This Paul Hamlyn Foundation funded project explored the question, if textiles teaching was brought into the primary school curriculum, would it lead to more creative approaches in other subject areas?

Elinor was one of the six textiles artists who worked with the teachers and pupils of five infant and primary schools in Kirklees. The project involved CPDL days for the artists and teachers, artists visits to schools, mentoring and workshop delivery.
