About

The education activities of the Prince’s Foundation embody the importance of preserving the world’s sacred and traditional arts for the purpose of handing on the immense richness of human knowledge, wisdom and skill, and giving them new life and application in a contemporary context. At the core of their teaching methodology is the understanding and study of the universal principles of the Order of Nature, which makes for better designers and makers on one level, and on a deeper level allows us to reconnect to humanity and each other as ‘a whole’ while respecting and honouring all cultural traditions.

By learning from and in nature, students studying at The Prince’s Foundation develop a deep appreciation for the natural world. By embedding sustainability principles and responsible practice within their teaching, they can ensure that they are able to positively contribute to the planet. An important strand of the teaching process is the preservation of heritage and hand-craft techniques through a range of disciplines and media, approached from a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective to build an understanding of the part each craft form plays in the creation of the product or art piece.

Through a series of talks, workshops and an exhibition, participants gain a greater understanding of the work of the foundation and develop an appreciation of hand-craft skills.

Exhibition remains open daily from 11am-4pm until 22 October 2021.
