Continuing Professional Development

Kate Horner and Rosie Jackson are both members of the Institute for Learning.

Several of our students are teachers and they receive funding towards their course fees through their schools.
City & Guilds qualifications are ideal to add to a professional portfolio as an internationally recognised awarding body.

The Level 1 Summer School courses are ideal for teachers giving you the opportunity to develop skills across a broad range.

Level 2 courses are run on one weekend a month for a year. Each weekend is a short module that builds up a portfolio for assessment. Each module is designed as a short scheme of work to give ideas for the classroom. Using art techniques to plan for a craft piece underpins all the work.

The Level 3 courses are run on one weekend a month for two years and are for the serious student who wishes to study design in depth as well as apply this to your craft area at a professional level. This level of qualification is needed to teach your subject as a specialist.

Kate Horner has 11 years of secondary school experience and is able to discuss ways of adapting the modules to the
classroom situation. Kate is currently exploring felt and creative computing for apparel. Rosie has just completed her CLAIT and is developing her mixed media approaches. We continue to write new courses.

ArtyBird can write and deliver custom made courses in your school and award you an ArtyBird certificate.
