Arboretum School Arts Award - Shibori Tie-dye

We have been very busy working with a lovely group of junior children from Arboretum School at Grove Lodge in the Arboretum Park.
They have been learning different textile techniques to create wonderful silk banners to decorate their school entrance. All the learning and work will go towards their Arts Award qualification.
