Teacher PDs - Information and Resources
There is a wealth of information and technical notes available via the Web Workshops page. Please check those out.
Access to specific resources for textiles and art teachers, as well as hand-outs for your students, will be added to this page continuously.
Check into the Teachers’ Support Group on my Facebook page and share your ideas as well as mine with your colleagues. Please note that personal emails or phone calls are the best way to catch up with me. Social media is not my favourite place for communicating personal messages!
