This annual conference is taking place on the 17th October 2019 at the brand new Creative Arts Campus of Leeds City College.  The day is being delivered in partnership with Leeds City College and Leeds Arts University.

Within the primary curriculum, craft can often be ‘lost’, despite having links with Maths, Science and STEAM. Craft education develops creativity, inventiveness, problem-solving and practical intelligence. It also produces the makers of the future.

ArtForms, the Crafts Council, Leeds Arts University and the University of Leeds are working together to develop a professional development project for primary school teachers and artists, based on craft. This training day is part of the project development and will explore what ‘craft’ is within the Leeds primary school curriculum.

The Craft Development Day is designed to develop delegates practical skills in different aspects of craft.  The sessions will also interrogate the relevance and value of art within the twenty-first century.  Thanks to funding and support from the University of Leeds and Leeds Arts University, delegate places on this course are free.

To book your place, please visit Leeds for Learning.  If you have any questions about the Craft Development Day or about craft within your curriculum, please contact jane.zanzottera@leeds.gov.uk

Hosted by Leeds Arts University the focus of the day will be on getting prepared for 2018/19.

The aim of the day is that each delegate will have created a new scheme of work, ready for the new academic year. The conference programme is designed to enthuse and excite leaders, making the most of the amazing resources and expertise available from Leeds Arts University and maximising on the opportunity for delegates to learn from one another.  The workshops will be led by Leeds Arts University and will allow delegates the opportunity to experience some of their excellent facilities and expertise.
