Pool Hayes Arts & Community College, Willenhall: Presentation techniques and Japanese Culture

For this project I spent a day with year 10 textile students on presentation techniques using Japanese culture as the theme. We filled the classroom with hanging kimonos and textiles and lots of unusual artifacts for the students to explore. They all worked really hard and produced some amazing pieces of work.

Feedback included:

“Thanks for a really fun day, I really enjoyed it, it was really good to look at a different culture and learn about what they do and what they use”

“I loved today, it was the most enjoyable day I’ve ever had”

“Really really interesting and amazing”

“I have learnt new techniques which will be useful for my course work”

“It was fun learning a bit of the language and also making the books”
