Hi, I'm Lucy and I'm the founder of Freckle Creative Learning
I began Freckle Creative Learning to meet the needs of young learners in Derby.
From professional and personal experience, I saw the growing number of young people whose needs were not being met within mainstream education settings.
Freckle is a creative learning space specialising in teaching creative subjects to children and young people. This can be delivered as 1 to 1 sessions or in small groups.
-
1 to 1 learning is bespoke to individual's needs, with flexibility for 'child-led' projects
-
Small groups, max. of 4 learners, allowing for more attention, support and a quieter environment.
Young people have the opportunity to study an Arts Award course, leading to a recognised qualification accredited by Trinity College London. In future, we plan to offer ASDAN Short Courses in Humanities based subjects.
Please see Tuition for more information on pricing and funding.

Why study textiles?

Current research highlights the mindful benefits of taking part in creative activities such as stitching.

For some neuro divergent people, the repetitive movements of knitting and sewing can be a relaxing 'stim'.
