Creative Crafts Trip

A small group of Year 9 and 12's from the Creative Crafts course visited Manchester Craft and Design Centre on Thursday 10 January, where they met designers and makers of craft items in their own studios and discovered what it takes to build a creative business.

Students conducted research interviews and sketched craft pieces to inspire their own range of craft jewellery, which they will make over the next term.

Designers commented on student's polite and confident manner as they went about their research, interacting with designers and other staff from the centre.

Miss Tyler said, "I was really pleased with the way students conducted themselves on the visit, they all worked hard and made the most of the day, even in the chilly conditions!"
