The Education Platform focuses on the promotion and use of ceramics and craft processes within formal and informal education, featuring case studies from the Crafts Council and Craftspace.
We want this platform to bring together artists, education professionals and policy makers to discuss the future of ceramics and craft within education, the benefits, barriers and possibilities.
This Platform event may be of interest to artists working within education settings, teachers, local education authority officers and youth workers.
