We have a great day creating Superhero masks at Love Park Week in the Derby Arboretum. 

Easter & Half Term Sessions @ Grove Lodge

We worked with lots of families and Madeley Youth Group in the school holidays at Easter and the May half term to create butterfly masks, insect mobiles, rocket-ships and sock puppets. Phew!

Monkeying around @ Grove lodge

We had a great afternoon making monkey masks at our drop-in session in the park this week.
They look very cheeky.

This will be the last for the summer, look out for our half term workshops in October.

Culture Day @ Kirk Hallam College

We were pleased to be asked again to work with the students at Kirk Hallam College.
We enjoyed the day meeting lots of other artists.
Here are some of the African masks and Japanese shibori designs we created.

Out Of This World - Space Project

This February half term we spent 3 mornings working with a great group of children from Arboretum School.
They came to our building in the Arboretum Park to work on space-themed artwork.
Monday we started creating the space station and alien masks

Tuesday, we painted the sides of the space station and also made small rockets 

Wednesday, we put it all together and also made small alien puppets.

The artwork was 'out of this world', what a great project!

 

World Culture Day

The students at Kirk Hallam Community College celebrated World Culture Day by taking part in variety of creative activities.
We delivered workshops to 150 students to create Japanese Shibori fabric and African Masks.

Here are some of the pieces.

Out of Africa in Repton

We spent an amazing 2 days at Repton Primary School creating work for their Africa project. We worked with Year 3 and Year 4 children to create batik hangings and African masks. 

They waxed the fabric, painted on the inks and ironed out the wax. Their teacher Mrs Walters was busy sewing all the pieces together for their Arts Week Assembly.
The end of the week finished with a wonderful assembly showcasing all the work. 


Well done!! We loved the African dancing and singing.
