    COGPROG

    Cloth of Gold have developed a computer programme (COGPROG©) that emulates the screen printing processes they use in the classroom on the computer. The programme, devised by the programmer Chris Thompson, enables pupils to design their banner vitually prior to printing it on fabric. COGPROG is currently being used in the Inspiration Africa! project.

    Visit the COGPROG© site to find out how it works.

    INSPIRATION AFRICA! (1999-2001)

    In 1999 Cloth of Gold and the education department of the Horniman Museum secured two-year funding from the DFEE for an exciting series of school based art, ICT and literacy projects called Inspiration Africa!

    Cloth of Gold worked with African or Caribbean storyteller/poets/musicians and outreach workers from the Horniman Museum on the project which is inspired by the museum’s new African Worlds exhibition. The project has now come to an end having successfully completed all 12 school projects. Art, literacy and ICT outcomes along with details of participating schools and workshops are featured in the Inspiration Africa! website which is part of this Cloth of Gold site.

    RICHARD CLOUDESLEY/BARBICAN PROJECT

    The project involved an artist and website developer from Cloth of Gold working with the art teacher, classroom helpers and five pupils from Richard Cloudesley special school over an eight week period last term (Spring 1999). The pupils worked from the exhibition of photographs at the Barbican Centre "Africa by Africa: A Photographic view" using new information and communication technologies.
