Thanks to Nathaniel and the team at @KFTSeekers for showing us around and explaining about all the fabulous things they offer to the community. Our learners on the Community Engagement course were very interested and some were very keen to access these wonderful provisions.

We're really excited to be working @GC_vol_projects on our #Gimson100 project - today we introduced the students to Ernest and they started experimenting with designing from nature! Can't wait to see the final results!
Kirsty, Kim and Sophie gave the Community Engagement students an introduction to Earnest Gimson and his nature inspired designs. Each learner made their own pictures using tea leaves! @GC_vol_projects @Gloscol @TheWilsonChelt #earnestgimson #tealeafart
