Early years CDP at CBSO

Early Years Event At CBSOSpent a stimulating and inspiring day at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra last Friday.

This was the third and final in a short series of reflective workshop days set up in partnership with St Thomas Children’s Centre and supported by Bright Space. It was attended by early years artists, educators and arts organisations who are passionate about creative learning for 0-6 years olds and their families. 

I was fortunate enough to present on aspects of my practice as well as facilitating a practical clay session in the afternoon.

In the morning, Pete Wynne-Wilson and Peppy Hills, both experienced creative practitioners, led a vibrant and inspiring discussion/presentation on best practice in early years, which somehow resulted in delegates dressing up in clothes made from newspaper!Early Years Event at CBSO
