Ink Pellet

Ink Pellet is the only arts magazine for teachers. Published (since 1998) six times a year to coincide with the start of each new school term, Ink Pellet aims to keep English and Drama teachers updated on the latest news and views from the worlds of theatre, arts, dance and literature. Informative features assist in organising theatre and gallery trips, lesson planning, advice for school drama productions and for students looking to further their studies in the arts. Ink Pellet brings together interviews with the very best authors, directors, producers and artistes, showcases the most talked about exhibitions and includes a comprehensive What’s On section, plus theatre and book reviews, written by our growing band of teacher-reviewers.
