SKE Course Day 21

In our final textiles session, we learnt about fibres and fabric creation, and how it can be applied and taught in schools.

We learnt about needle felting, wet felting, finger knitting, angelina fibres, plastic bonding and weaving.

By playing with each method of fabric creation, I left the session with a sample from each method, and a greater understanding of how to teach each method.
