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.
