Welcome to our little studio!

Hey there! I'm Miss Bartley, the creative force behind The Design Table. With a degree in graphic design and a passion for all things creative, I wear many hats – quite literally! By day, I'm a DT Technician at a local secondary school, where I get to share my love for design with curious minds. But my journey into the world of creativity doesn't stop there.

During my university days, I juggled books with brushes, nannying by day and designing by night. It was during this time that my passion for nurturing young creative minds truly blossomed. Alongside a talented team, I co-ran 'The Art Table' at local primary schools, witnessing firsthand the magic that happens when kids are given the freedom to explore their imaginations.

Now, I'm thrilled to extend that magic to teenagers through The Design Table. Here, we're not just about teaching art and design – we're about fostering a community of budding creatives. Whether it's mastering the intricacies of textiles, whipping up stunning graphics, or bringing woodwork creations to life, there's something for everyone here.

So, if you're ready to unleash your creativity and dive into a world of colors, textures, and endless possibilities, you're in the right place. Let's create something extraordinary together!
