Niamh Mahoney's Design Plan

Teaching a craft subject is about inspiring others. Some are given ideas and some choose their own ideas...adding to them, embellishing them, injecting their own personality into their work. The year 9 Textiles group are very much independent workers with an array of exciting and interesting ideas. 

Here is an example of Niamh Mahoney's Peacock applique cushion. I love the colours and the way the sample work has been positioned over her plan to demonstrate how it will look. Well done Niamh. I can't wait to see your finished piece.

Year 7 Mini Monsters

Well done year 7...for the creative, interesting and original mini monsters you created this rotation. I am impressed with the tie dying techniques and accurate stitching.

Year 9 Hand Stitching

Here are some absolutely beautiful hand stitching pages from my current year 9 group. Well done Niamh Mahoney, Tayla Pilsworth and Jessica Heyes. Keep up the outstanding effort and work girls. Miss Mellor

Year 10 Hand Stitching

I am absolutely wowed by the effort demonstrated lesson after lesson by two of my current Year 10 students. I have a wonderful class of incredibly talented students who are developing their skills and confidence in this subject at a rapid rate. I will post lots of their work but the two pieces that really shone for me this week were:

Isabelle Bailey's Hand stitching shell page. I adore the colours, page composition and stitching detail. 

Ria Duncan's Exquisitely hand stitched shells. Ria's detail and array of hand stitches have been done outstandingly.

Well done girls. Excellent effort, quality of work and dedication. I am very pleased with you both. Keep up the good work.

Catering G.C.S.E

The standard and quality of work for this years Hospitality and Catering course has been exceptional. Here are two examples from the practical part of the exam. All elements were made from scratch including the sponge that went into the tiramisu. The accompanying paper work was both detailed and well structured. Well done Class of 2017.

Our hive of positivity

On Friday every student at our school dedicated two hours of their day to designing and making a bee to be displayed in our foyer. Here was the result. 600 beautifully coloured, designed and detailed Bees. A stunning display. Well done everyone.
