During the Autumn Term Year 6 had a fantastic opportunity to work with The Goldfinger Factory over a 12 week period to create beautiful wooden lamps. This was funded by Hermes Paris who run their Manufacto project in France, and who invited us to be the first UK school to participate in their programme!

The purpose of the programme is to introduce children to traditional craft trades. Working with designers and craftspeople to understand design and form, the children were then  given the tools and guidance to make their own high-quality object.

The following video documents the project and shows just how much fun the children had taking part. The quality of these lamps is just amazing. and the evident and justifiable pride the children show a delight!
