WE ARE 10 YEARS OLD!!!
In June 2015 we held our first events for textiles teachers and since then run networking events and workshops nationally, bringing together teachers with a passion for textiles. We also started to manage the Textile Teachers Centre online community and built this amazing group, connecting teachers from all over the world.
Our original aim was to support textiles in schools and build a community which would help each other and we could help with textiles specific CPD and resources to both encourage and inspire……..
Through textiles education, we want to build a better world together – empowering, educating and inspiring the next generation of designers.
