Teacher CPD: Handpicked: Painting Flowers from 1900 to Today
Tuesday 9 June, 5-7.30pm (doors at 4.45pm)
Join us at Kettle’s Yard for our next Teacher CPD where artist Amy Wormald will explore our current exhibition Handpicked: Painting Flowers from 1900 to Today.
Kettle’s Yard Teacher CPDs are suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and student teachers, who support individuals of all ages in various learning environments.
There will be light refreshments served during the evening.
Please note, we have a maximum of 4 attendees per school.
At this Teacher CPD, you will spend time exploring the Handpicked exhibition after hours, seeing how flowers are depicted by significant artists from the 20th century, through to contemporary artists of today. Focusing on colour, artist Amy Wormald will assist you in spending time with these works through various prompts.
We will then head to the Clore Learning Studio where Amy will take us through a series of starting activities that invite you to let go of perfection, consider collaboration, and become expressive in your mark making and movement. The key activity and making will be led by Amy, exploring composition, using space, and being bold.
This CPD gives you time to reflect, socialise, reenergise, and get creative through making.

What Teachers Are Saying
Hear from previous attendees of our Teacher CPD:
I love how practical these teacher CPD’s are – very inspiring and helps get the creative juices flowing.
Thank you – I have so many new ideas to take back to the school. I’ll be looking to increase ‘ways in’ to creativity and ‘soften’ the pressure students feel to perform to certain standards.
