'Making It' Taster Workshop Programme

'Making It' was an extensive range of taster sessions in craft specialist subjects, that was designed to encourage participants to pursue a course at FE or HE level at Cumbria Institute of the Arts (now the Faculty of Arts of the University of Cumbria) and ultimately carve out a career in the crafts sector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The taster sessions covered a wide variety of textile specialisms and ceramics subjects.  A colour brochure was produced and distributed to schools, colleges and adult learning centres.  Take up was high and the workshops proved very popular.

Here are some quotes from attendees:

“Please let me know if there is a continuation class.  Also, please let me know about other day classes.”

“Please may I encourage you to do more!  I would like to do other courses and further my knowledge of weaving.  Really enjoyed it and what a sense of achievement!”

“Brilliant - really good introduction to weaving.”

“Would love to come to another workshop - I work in a school so a weekend course or one during the school holiday would be great.”

“Would enjoy a follow-up to this workshop plus a chance to try other workshops that were running on the same day.”

“Was brilliant how much you could actually do especially from scratch.”

“We achieved so much!  No unnecessary tea breaks etc and a short lunch.  All hard work for the tutor, but ensured we got the most out of the day.  Brilliant.  A lovely building and good equipment.  Thankyou!”
