Welcome to my Studio … MY CLASSROOM! … Your Learning Place !!!

Each year, special Professional Development Workshops are planned to assist Home Economics and Art teachers, as well as those teaching art and craft in primary schools.

Anne has presented hands-on workshops at HEIA conferences, both state and national, at their invitation and has been involved similarly with DATTA and other teacher organisations in Australia, and HETTANZ in New Zealand at their invitation. As a former High School teacher, it is her pleasure to present an informative and relevant program.

Read what your fellow teachers have written:

  • Wide variety of techniques and the presenter amazing

  • Very hands-on, with take-home resources and samples

  • Engaging, creative activities to use with students – directly applicable to the classroom

  • Presenter very knowledgeable, happy to connect, and happy to help everyone get maximum learning experiences

  • I decided to do the workshop at the last minute.  BEST decision!

  • Anne was brilliant, very knowledgeable.  One of the best PDs I have ever attended

  • Working with Liquid Radiance is so simple, and our students just love it.

ONE DAY WORKSHOP - Tue & Thu: Innovative Technology for Fabric Designing - understanding the basics, and more

TWO DAY WORKSHOP - Tue & Wed: Extension Workshop on Wednesday will explore a huge range of topics to develop your skills as a teacher, for the benefit of your students’ interest and achievement.

These days will be ‘custom built’ for the teachers attending, while still containing the necessary basics for effective learning. Including Wednesday 24 Sept is an option, especially if travelling from afar, so we can do the extension topics and make the most of our time together. Thursday will be a repeat of the Tuesday program.

 

These workshops are designed to help textiles and art teachers develop a range of skills in students at all levels of education, with products that are safe, simple and economical to use.

  • Work with other people who teach what you do.

  • Learn and share skills with your colleagues.

  • Explore and develop new teaching techniques.

  • Hear first hand about new product development.

  • Book into my FREE PD Workshops in Toowoomba in the school holidays - check Events for details.

  • Weekend PDs by arrangement.

  • PD Workshops via Zoom when we cannot get together in person. Talk to me about arranging a session for your colleagues at a time to suit us all.
