The Arts Society Wantage supported a day’s workshop at King Alfred’s Academy for the students studying A-level Art. Kate Findlay – a Contemporary Textile Artist and Teacher – visited the school and introduced different techniques for fabric art. Fifteen students had a wonderful day learning new ways of creating patterns using varying methods. They produced sample squares to show their individual use of entirely new materials. Three students attended a meeting of the Society and explained what they had learned. They brought along samples of their work which created a great deal of interest among the members.
