Practical Arts Teacher Training with Jack Bryant & Mona Lewis

The mission of this Practical Arts Training is to offer an ongoing training/mentoring/professional development opportunity in both the "soft" crafts and the "hard" crafts in the Waldorf curriculum, together as one program. This course is open to current and future Waldorf teachers and parents, alumni and homeschool parents.

FACULTY

WIPATT Faculty are working, veteran Waldorf Handwork and Woodwork teachers with many years of experience teaching children in primary school, high school, and preparing Waldorf Teachers in North America and China. Our founding faculty members are Jack Bryant (Woodcarving / Sculpture) and Mona Lewis (Fiber Arts / Handwork), both are long-time teachers at Highland Hall Waldorf School.

COURSE

The course consists of individual 6-day long intensives, where the participants will learn and practice Fiber Arts and Woodworking techniques, and will also gain an understanding of why and how they are introduced to children. As the program matures, the plan is to have a total of nine 6-day long intensive modules over a 3-year time span.
