Fish Flags at Love Parks Week

Love Parks Week in the Derby Arboretum making fishy flags

Darley Churchtown School - Batik Banner

We had a wonderful time finishing and sewing the Darley Churchtown School banner.
The headteacher, Mrs Stillwell said, 
'The wall hanging was displayed in church this afternoon and the reaction was amazing. It looks absolutely beautiful!'

Art House on Tour

Art House on Tour are art activities organised by Charnwood Arts. We delivered a great workshop in the summer holidays at Barrow on Soar creating woven bowls with families. 

St James School Teacups

We had a few days at the end of term to create sculptures for our anniversary celebration in the Derby Arboretum Park.
We worked with 30 children to create 3 giant teacups using chicken wire and gummed tape.
Well done to all the children who helped make them look great. Here are some pics of them in the first stages.

Beeston Well Dressing

Another lovely celebration at Broxtowe Community Celebration, we created a well dressing to celebrate Culture.
We do enjoy being part of this festival.

Darley Churchtown Batik Banner

In June, we worked with the whole school on a batik painting project for their RE topic, 'The Lord's Prayer'. We are now sewing all the pieces together to make a wonderful banner for the school in a labyrinth pattern.
Here are some of the batik painting images.
