Description
Come and enjoy creating in clay and other mediums, including print, and have the option to progress to an Arts Award, a national qualification in the arts, offered to young people from age 6 to 25 at various levels. Young people entering the arts award scheme are able to steer their projects reflecting their own interests under the guidance of Geraldine, who is a qualified Arts Award adviser. The qualification is not time bound and candidates are entered for moderation when their portfolio has first been marked by the adviser. A portion of the work is expected to be completed as independent learning. More information can be found on the Arts Award website.
