TESTIMONIALS
“We were delighted to be able to work with Printhaus, a local Welsh company, on this project. During this project, as with all other activities we have taken part in with Printhaus, we had a very positive experience. The Printhaus team communicate effectively and understands how schools work. They are therefore able to be flexible to enable sessions to work alongside school routines. They are also aware of safeguarding procedures and adhered to these closely when they visited . Most importantly, they offer specialist ,creative and enjoyable learning experiences for our children!”
Victoria Scale-Constantinou (Headteacher, Tredegarville CiW Primary School)
“It was a delight to welcome Printhaus into my classroom to lead a printing workshop. There was a great level of communication prior to the session and throughout the session between Printhaus creatives, myself and the children. The session was well paced but allowed children to take their time, to make their own choices and to explore the three printing stations. The session was well resourced with a variety of art supplies and plenty of adults at each station to support children in their printing processes. The children were engaged, excited and enthusiastic and really enjoyed the opportunity to create multiple cotton squares and even take them home.”
