"Chalice Arts delivered a really well planned Bible story project for each year group from Year 1 to Year 6. Good quality work was produced and Chalice Arts returned to help finish off the work. A really valuable contribution to raising the Christian ethos of the school through art. Highly recommended. We have booked Chalice Arts to carry out a First World War commemorative project with Year 5 and 6."
"We are so pleased with our St Peter's Painting for our assembly hall. It's much more than we imagined. It's a masterpiece - it has a real presence."
Chalice Arts returned in October and carried out two Black History workshops. Again we were absolutely delighted with the outcome.
Chalice Arts has contributed enormously to raising our Christian Ethos through art and projects to promote British Values. The contributions from Chalice Arts were really appreciated during our very successful SIAMS Inspection.
Chalice Arts UK delivered an excellent INSET for the staff on using clay. This inspired our Art Week and Stephen Bruce delivered workshops for our Year 2 classes. We learnt a great deal from this experience and improved the skills of teachers and support staff. Thank you - it was very enjoyable and the children produced lovely work. We look forward to Chalice Arts working with our Art Subject Leader over the next term.
We have really appreciated the work Chalice Arts did for our "Take One Picture" project. The INSET with staff and the teaching with the children produced lovely work.
Chalice Arts came to our school well-equipped and set up the workspace quickly and efficiently. Our G&T children enjoyed the challenge of working with a new medium of acrylic paint on canvas boards. The meticulous instruction had the children totally engrossed in the project and we were impressed with the high quality of the finished pieces of work. We are very keen for Steve to return!
