These banners were commissioned for the official opening on 6th April of Bodmin’s new “greenway” which is part of the North Cornwall District Council’s Walk to Work project. The Digital banners were designed by Cloth of Gold from artwork created in the art department by pupils at Bodmin Community School.

Cloth of Gold in Colombia

Cloth of Gold and educators and artists in Colombia worked together for 3 years and formed a unique partnership involving cross cultural exchanges and projects. This included practical creative workshops in schools in Colombian cities and remote rural areas.

Cloth of Gold returned to Colombia to complete three weeks of workshops. This trip was financed by a successful Fund Raising Programme of Events at the Cloth of Gold art studio in Kilburn.

Caribbean Currents

Cloth of Gold renewed their partnership with the Horniman Museum completing a long term London-wide community project linked to the launch of the museum's important new temporary exhibition 'Amazon to Caribbean'. Artists worked with a wide range of different Caribbean community groups in partnership with four local museums in Greater London:
The Cuming Museum in Southwark; Grange Museum in Brent; Wandsworth Museum; and the Newham Heritage Centre.

Virtual Visitors Project
An arts project for Holocaust Memorial Day held in Cardiff.

This online creative arts project was one of the activities organised for the Holocaust Memorial Day held in Cardiff.

The project gives pupils the opportunity to receive ‘Virtual Visitors’ to their school and community travelling through time and cyber space. The visitors will initially arrive from war time Europe seeking refuge from Nazi persecution to tell their story ‘first hand’ to their new classmates. During the project they will gradually transform into contemporary characters to help explore and better understand how we respond to all ‘outsiders’ and people whose appearance and customs may be different from our own.

Gravity Project

Each month an archived recent project animation will be highlighted here. Currently we are featuring the Gravity Project - a cross-curricular arts project at Deptford Green Secondary School, Lewisham, London, UK. This movie is also available on our main site under Recent Projects, Creative Learning, Cross-curricular.

Can an arts project over a 10 week period re-engage a mixed group of disengaged learners from Year 7?
