- Published: 08 September 2010
Children in primary schools in Ireland are set to learn "traditional craft skills" under a new initiative.
The Crafts Council of Ireland is running the programme entitled CRAFTed: Learning Skills for Life across 36 selected primary schools, starting this month (September 2010).
More than 900 children will spend two hours a week for five weeks learning how to knit, sew, make jewellery and craft wood.
According to organisers, it will give pupils the "opportunity to explore their creativity and learn new skills by working collaboratively with professional craftspeople".
