Becky Whitlock (Bentley Wood High School)
Excellent workshop, interesting, practical & great resources. Experienced, enthusiastic, motivated and helpful tutor (Seema Izaiah) I would like to attend the second workshop.
Christina Shepherd (London Academy)
Very useful course outlining a simple route, of how to move into textile construction. Enjoyed the pleating and draping techniques as I found it very hands on and a great practical way of learning about something that I am not familiar with. Great to have the option of getting the garment finished in a professional way.
Lisa Connolly (Chislehurst & Sidcup Grammar School)
This course was very useful, lots of different techniques I will be able to take back to my classroom and share with my pupils. During the day I was able to drape fabric and construct a bodice that just needs finishing with a zip and binding. Everything was explained well with great tips and shortcut to be able to achieve great looking effects.
Lucy Evans (Business Academy, Bexley)
Achieved a lot during the day and renewed my confidence in some basic skills and techniques. Would benefit me more after a refresher textile lesson. Would recommend to others especially those with a textile specialty.
Kremena Guentcheva (St Edwards School, Romford)
Very interesting, full of ideas and techniques that can be used in school and make the work of my student more creative and original. I can only wish we had a longer day or may be 2nd day, with opportunity to experiment with more surface decoration techniques.
Helena Jedlinska (Langley Park School for Girls)
My aim was to be able to bring back some of the techniques and processes to class room, today's workshop will enable me do just that. The draping experience was very useful, relevant particularly for attending a worthwhile day.
Hanan F Jordan ( Bexley Heath School)
I have found this course very helpful and useful, I will be using several of the decorative techniques with all my groups especially for year 10&11, I will recommend this course to my friends.
Joanne Palmer (East Barnet School)
A very good course, I found the construction and draping techniques very useful and can apply to my teaching.
