Educational Workshops

Another service provided by Bill Moore is the running of educational workshops in schools . Bill has experience teaching in a number of schools and educational environments, from Year 2 right through to Sixth Form.

The images above are of gargoyles made at a recent two-day clay workshop at the Downs School, Wraxall, with Years 4 to 8. The workshop was very successful, involving the whole school, with every child drawing preliminary sketches of gargoyles at the National Trust property Tynsfield House, then returning to make their own gargoyles with Bill. The workshop was part of the Downs School’s Arts Week. This Project can be tailored to suit all ages and abilities.

Demonstrating how to make large bowls, vases and jugs on the potter’s wheel can also be combined with a school workshop. The teaching of throwing on the wheel is also available, but can only be for small groups.

Many other projects are available and can be tailored to suit any school’s needs and many parts of the National Curriculum.

Illustrated below are images of a recent project working with a GCSE pupil on a one-to-one basis.
