CEDARS

We spent two wonderful days last week working with the students and staff of CEDARS Knutton and Penkhull bases.

At the Knutton base we delivered four one hour sessions with four groups and made felt pieces adorned with individually designed symbols of friendship.

At the Penkhull base we made masking tape resist textile designs and felt pieces. 

All participants had the opportunity to make friendship wristlets to take away with them.

 

Westlands Primary Banner

We completed the banner today! Here it is lying on a table in the studio:

We are just assembling the Westlands Primary textile banner in the studio..........

During the workshops the pupils drew some beautiful visual diagrams to show their thoughts and ideas about friendship and community.

 

Clayton Hall Business College Mosaic is Installed!

We had a great time with the students and staff at Clayton Hall Business College finishing and installing their mosaic artworks to create the fabulous outdoor feature.

 

The students are proud of their artwork.

Newcastle Community High School

We spent two wonderful days working with students and staff in the NCHS textiles department. 

Looking at themes of friendship, diversity within our communities and patterns and symbols in other cultures, the students created some unique artworks that will be assembled creating a large colourful banner to brighten up the new textile department studio.

 

 

Seabridge Primary School

We worked with pupils from Seabridge Primary in May and had a brilliant time looking at the different ways that the school connects with the surrounding community.

 

We also discussed the qualities the school would like to show towards the wider community.

The pupils created some beautiful felt and painted textile artwork that will be assembled into a banner for the school assembly hall.
