Uni Weavings

It was a tepee frenzy at Derby University, we worked with students from the Childhood Studies course to create 4 tepees in various themed colours.
We had 'Under the Sea', 'Fairytale Castle', 'Winter Sparkle' and 'Autumn Leaves'.
They are sited around the university grounds.

'Make a Feature' Masks

Half term in the Arboretum saw us creating windmills and masks with families.

Here are a couple of the quirky masks!!

Fairtrade Sculptures

Derby City Fairtrade Group commissioned us to create two sculptures to promote Fairtrade Fortnight 25 Feb - 10 March.

We delivered a couple of workshops to create them with St James Junior School, Derby and a group of creative families in the Arboretum Park.

Here are some of our photos.
