Raw Canvas Workshop Leaders Training Course
Jan - March 2001
15 young people spend 12 weeks working with Artist Educator Esther Sayers and Caro to get a first hand experience of planning, devising and leading workshops. The course culminates in all the participants leading an activity and many new friendships being made.
The newly trained Raw Canvas team decide they need regular General Meetings to plan and devise the next years' programme of activities and events, they meet as often as they can and the Raw Canvas programme begins...
