The Schools and Teachers programme at Tate is supported by Tate Patrons, the Lord Leonard and Lady Estelle Wolfson Foundation, Ernest Cook Trust, The Stanley Picker Trust and ArtSocial Foundation.

The course surpassed my expectations, I loved researching and analysing through practical methods.

Study day participant, 2017

The course allowed me to question my practice and think about my pedagogy. It gave me the opportunity to take time out from my world to fully reflect on my teaching/involvement in art.
