Artist Educator CPD: The Poetics of Textiles – Language and Intuitive Practice using Fabric with Tyreis Holder
Wednesday 28th October 2026 , 5:30pm to 7:30pm
In this session, work with artist Tyreis Holder on a series of exercises investigating relationships between making and working with young people and other audiences intuitively. Participants will understand how affirmation can be used as a starting point for creative expression through colour, fabric and thread. The session will look at how textiles can provide another route into language and finding your voice.
What is the Artist Educators’ CPD programme?
Organised by Bow Learning, the artist educators CPD program is a series of sessions offered to Bow Arts Educators as a form of skill sharing and network-building. Bow Arts artist educators are a freelance pool of educators who work on schools’ projects across London, mostly in east and south-east London. This programme of professional development has been running successfully for the past 10 years.
The programme consists of:
- Skills-share sessions, where artists share skills from their own practice with each other.
- The Happening Now programme, where artists facilitate sessions around what is happening nationally and globally in current affairs and how this may be affecting young people, their families and teachers.
- Training delivered by external providers such as art psychotherapists and organisations that can share insight about working with children who have experienced trauma.
- Bow Arts’ annual artist educators’ retreat – a two-day event of workshops, talks and hands on activities exploring the boundaries of art teaching in the classroom and beyond.
- We are delighted to be able to extend this workshop beyond our artists educator community welcoming anyone with an interest or curiosity of how a learning environment can complement your own practice.
This session is ‘pay what you can’ with a suggested donation of around £7 towards materials and costs. This event will be held in our project space upstairs at the Lakeside Centre
