Take a look at some of the techniques we offer. All of our sessions can be adapted to a theme or project of your choice.

screen-printing
We use photo-stencil technology to allow learners to design and create and print their own photographs or drawings. We show learners how to create artwork and we can train staff in how to create their own budget-friendly screen-printing setup. We introduce learners to the basics of printing and can work up to larger projects in printing repeating lengths of fabrics. We provide all materials and equipment for sessions. Suitable for a CPD session or a group of sessions.
printmaking
We show learners how to use dry-point etching and block printing methods to create sophisticated reduction prints and highly-effective results. All materials and equipment can be provided. We can also show staff how to develop these techniques within their own department. This is relatively inexpensive to set up and yields good return in results for investments in equipment. We can show you how to adopt this technique on a range of budgets from small to large,

We provide training in fashion – from mood boards and research, creative fashion illustrations, creating working and technical drawings, basic pattern drafting and cutting to fashion construction using a sewing machine. We guide learners through the entire process and can provide short or longer projects to suit your needs.

We can provide sewing machines for use with small groups or can use your own machines as appropriate.

Felting is a wonderful textile technique for all abilities. This process works well in At and Design too, and can be used for themes like architecture, portraiture and natural forms. We show learners how to create wet felt or use a special barbed needle to create needle felted work. We provide all materials and equipment including all wool fibres.

If you are looking to introduce 3D projects, we can introduce students and staff to a wide range of sculptural possibilities, from looking at the work of others to gain understanding, to the practical investigation of techniques and materials. We can also show you how to establish a 3D department and recommend appropriate materials and equipment.

We show learners how to use a wide range of creative methods, and we work to the facilities, budget and resources that you can provide.
