    Description

    Invited speaker on panel of educators and crafts people

    The day long event explored the continuing importance of craft in education in three spheres

    • Recovery – craft as a tool for rethinking a return to school
    • Developing an anti-racist approach to craft education
    • Craft as a cross-curricular bridge

    My contribution "But you can’t knit science…Using knit to celebrate the use of craft in a wider curriculum" was well received. I also chaired three breakout discussion sessions.
