Claire Parsons:

Claire has been teaching Textiles for 15 years in a range of different schools and settings. Recently she made a life move to a different city and began teaching in a small SEND school. Since starting in January she has had to completely rethink the way she plans, resources and teaches her lessons to a range of different needs and abilities. It has been a refreshing but challenging experience, and she is looking forward to sharing what she has learnt with you.

The Textiles Skills Centre Associates are a team of volunteers that manage the social media platforms and website, and offer support, mentorship and advice to textile teachers and trainees. We organise free resource networking events each month (Tea 'N Chat) and are always on hand to help and encourage when needed.
We are always looking for new Associate members, so if you would like to join this small team then do contact us at: info@textileskillscentre.com

At the moment all costs are met by our team and time is given freely. If you are able to support us with a donation, however small, this will help to enhance the work we are doing.
