      At this point I was working at the Fashion Museum in Bath, running sessions on learning from objects with GCSE and A Level Textiles students. I wanted to learn some new techniques to make me more effective. The course was brilliant, and I emerged more confident and with a better understanding of how people learn. It paved the way for my Master's in Education.
