About
‘Craft and Making Education in Scotland’ is research, authored by Rosemary James-Beith, that maps craft and making education happening across Scotland in primary schools, secondary schools and beyond.
Drawing upon existing research, a survey of both teachers and makers and a set of key case studies, the report identifies key issues and makes recommendations to tackle inequality in craft education; change perceptions of craft; identify career paths; and facilitate new experiences and opportunities for all of Scotland’s young people.
Our advocacy campaign, MAKE Learn is built on these recommendations and is championing the long term value of teaching craft and making skills from early years through to further education.
