Learning Programmes:
Close to Nature: Kendal Library, Kendal Museum, Selside Primary School, Brantwood, and local artist Nicki Smith explored together observing nature and searching for the visual designs in nature. Inspired by the work and ideas of John Ruskin and the PreRaphaelite Brotherhood the pupils of Selside School created their own designs.
The Barrett Friendship Quilt Project: The Quaker Tapestry Exhibition Centre and Beetham School worked together to discover the lives and stories behind the creation of the counterpane created by a group of women friends and family at the turn of the nineteenth century.
Brantwood explored the Forest School method of learning with local schools using Ruskin’s garden at Brantwood, and in conjunction with the Ruskin Museum in Coniston, organised family walks interacting with the history and environment surrounding the Coniston area.
