Textiles at Brine Leas School

Year 6 visited Brine Leas School to work with Mrs Fawcett in the textiles department. Mrs Fawcett delivered an introduction into the uses of textiles in our daily lives and considered how fabrics have specific properties for use. They then manufactured a sports bag using waterproof nylon. They learned how to use sewing machines and then produced a logo using the CAD/CAM machine.

The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Brine Leas School and would like to thank Mrs Fawcett and her technician for making them feel very welcome.
