Artists Outside the Classroom

Makers who Teach

Teaching Arts & continuing to Create

It has often surprised me how many people spend years studying, exploring, experimenting and creating art, craft & design. 
They gain their degrees, train as teachers then STOP MAKING!
In the 25 years I have been involved in secondary education it has often been one of the first thing I want to know about an art or design teacher - do you still create? 
I know, as teachers, we make endless prototypes, plan creative lessons and generate hundreds of new pieces of work each year through our support of students and pupils but ... do you make artwork outside the classroom?

In July 2014 a small group of artists, designers and craft makers (who also teach) will hold an exhibition of their work at 

54 THE GALLERY, 
SHEPHERDS MARKET,
MAYFAIR
LONDON


We hope you can make a date to visit.
Monday 28th July - Saturday 2nd August 2014

This blog will hopefully chart our progress and give you a taste of what to expect when you come to the show.

We look forwards meeting you in July
