Get making and be inspired by the Crafts Council Collection and brilliant creations made by school students from across the UK.
This summer the Crafts Council Gallery will become a hive of activity where visitors can create, play, and experiment with clays, textiles, paper, and card at a ‘making table’ and meet others who also love craft.
Craft School will display winning entries from our national school’s competition Craft School: Yinka’s Challenge, developed in collaboration with multi-disciplinary British-Nigerian artist Yinka Ilori. Learners from across KS1 – KS4 were invited to explore themes of play, storytelling, and empowerment through making.
Alongside these schools’ projects, visitors will be able to interact with pieces from our Collections. Our gallery team will help you explore the craft objects, materials and samples on the handling table.
Our weekly Craft School workshops are now fully booked, however you can still get creative during your visit to the gallery at our making table. Download the Craft School activity prompt cards here or pick up a copy onsite.
