I have recently been working as a TA in the Textiles Department at my old high school! So much has changed, the classrooms have been refurbished, with new state of the art equipment, we are now an Academy instead of a state school, a brand new school is being built on the school field which will combine the two local schools, and the kids know so much more than i did when i was their age! Its really inspirational to see the children enjoying themselves and really getting to grips with new process'. Im also enjoying showing my own skills to the kids and getting them to learn new things that will help them earlier, things such as 'Bondaweb'. I didn't learn about this magical stuff until about two years ago - but it applies itself so well to most of the project briefs ive seen throughout the school years! Anyway - the point is - i would like to create some tutorials that would be suitable to show in Lesson plans. I have to make my own lesson plan this week and it would have been handy had i have thought about something like this ages ago! Maybe i can create a whole bunch and give the kids this link so they can look through - who knows :) So.. My Debut tutorial will be..  |
| First in the series.. Batik! |
I have decided i would like to create a few simple guides for certain process' i have learnt over the years, some really simple, some perhaps a little more confusing and specialist - but it would be great to start converting my technical files into easy to understand tutorials.
I am now writing up the first guide. check back soon! :)
