Following the success of last years pilot Schools project, over recent months the Outreach committee has been running a second Schools project at the Sir John Heron’s Primary School in Newham, in which three Guild members ran sessions for children from Years 4 and 6 teaching them craft. 

Our teachers were Julie Arkell (papier mache), Paul Jakeman (stone carving) and Bobbie Kociejowski (weaving). The scheme was managed on behalf of the Outreach Committee by Sonia Tuttiett and Jeremy Nichols.

The children’s work will be exhibited at the Guild in the Master’s Room until the end of July and the school children will be making a trip to see the exhibition.

The exhibition will be available to view at the Guild meeting on Thursday 6 July. Other times by appointment, please email Leigh info@artworkersguild.org.
