Art and Design teachers from secondary schools across Essex enjoyed a professional development opportunity at the PULSE conference at the College on Wednesday 12th January 2011.

The teachers were able to develop new skills in stop-frame animation and to learn about the opportunities offered by Writtle School of Design (WSD). Studio and campus tours enabled WSD to demonstrate the excellent facilities and studio culture in operation.

The day was a great success with very positive feedback.

Each of the participants has expressed an interest in further collaboration with the College, and will be passing on information about the courses at Writtle to their students and career co-ordinators.

The teachers were able to use WSD student models as the backdrops for their animations.
