Curriculum places great emphasis on craft work. From kindergarten through to Class8 I was taught a new craft each year: in class one I was taught to knit, but before knitting we all made our own knitting needles. The rest of the craft curriculum includes: felt-making from fleeces, felt slipper from felt, crocheting music cases, pottery, green woodwork, weaving, gardening, painting, brick making, stone carving, metalwork, dressmaking, set-design and building, candle making and wax modelling. My love of crafts led me to create my own workshop in which I make items out of wood. Along with my brother, I had a stall at the Steiner School Advent Fair were we sold wooden spoons, bowls, chopping boards and ladles. Even if children have a problem with learning disabilities it will help them build up on their skills, Social , emotional and even physical.
