SUMMARY:Furoshiki with Saori Seward on Zoom - CCC
DESCRIPTION:Furoshiki are traditional Japanese versatile cloths\, in various sizes\, designs and materials\, with many different possible applications.  Originally they were used in traditional Japanese public baths (Onsen)\, to wrap up your clothes to avoid a mix-up with other people. Their use was slowly declining due to the massive production and availability of plastic bags. Recently however\, the cloth is experiencing a revival. Furoshiki are great for carrying shopping home\, and they can help to reduce plastic bag and other packaging consumption. With simple knotting\, Furoshiki transforms from a plain cloth into a stylish bag in no time.  In this workshop you will learn lots of wrapping techniques\, including how to wrap a square “Bento box” shape\, a wine bottle and a how to make a handbag from one single Furoshiki cloth. As a bonus we’ll also be learning a little Japanese! \nYou will need some squares of fabric – a wine bottle will take around 85cm2 and some things to wrap e.g. a rectangular item – book or lunch box and a couple of wine bottles (they can be empty!!)\nA worksheet will be provided. \nTo book your place go to ticketsource.co.uk/fewi (no booking fee for booking online) or call  \n0333 666 3366 (Booking line open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm\, £1.80 fee per phone booking applies).

SUMMARY:A Village Headmaster with Dr John Ridley on Zoom - A&L
DESCRIPTION:John’s talk ‘A Village Headmaster’ is set against a backdrop of rapid and unrelenting educational change following the 1988 Education Reform Act. The establishment of Ofsted\, the National Curriculum and compulsory testing for primary school children\, redefined what was expected of teachers. Even with these pressures village primary schools continued to nurture their pupils and provided first class education which allowed children to grow and yet retain their individuality. John spent twenty-one years in a small village primary school and\, through his stories\, told with gentle humour\, takes us through his experiences as a village headmaster. In his first term as head\, and on the day of his first parents’ meeting\, he discovered that the father of two of his pupils was not only an HMI but also Ofsted’s senior staff inspector! John tells of early pioneering links with city schools in Birmingham and Newcastle\, working with and firing clay\, making a BBC TV programme for schools\, his love of outdoor education\, the murder of Saint Alkelda\, the legend of the Phantom Bagpiper of Great Fryup Dale and\, of course\, the amazing things that children say! \n\nTo book your place go to ticketsource.co.uk/fewi (no booking fee for booking online) or call  \n0333 666 3366 (Booking line open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm\, £1.80 fee per phone booking applies)
