Friendship around the world

This evening, at Cossington Primary, a group of children made peg people with me, for our first of three sessions on the Olympic values of friendship, excellence and respect. This session, friendship, was a good excuse to make these fabulous people from around the world. Each participant made two people from different continents and acted out ways in which they could be friends- like internet, phone or travel.

Arty Party

This is my new venture through Rawlins- arty parties! Yesterday I did a 16 strong birthday party on caricatures....drawing all of the children (and parents!)and teaching everyone how to draw their own. It was a lot of fun and might just catch on!

If you or anyone are interested in booking a party, please contact the community office at Rawlins!

recycled rainbow

At Rothley, a group of children have decided to make a recycled rainbow for their project with me! We are collecting coloured plastic recycling and cutting and threading it onto wire (kindly donated by the Candlestick factory in Sileby). This process is quite theraputic and it is building up really well. The rainbow will be big enough to walk through!

World Community Arts Day 2011- a huge success!

12 volunteers, 60 participants, a vat of marbelling inks, box of marker pens, two bags of clay, two dozen balls of wool and several boxes of beads made this year's World Community Arts Day absolutely amazing. All ages, all abilities, all together for six workshops in the art department at Rawlins. This event is made possible by the generous artists who give their time and expertise for free. Thank you everyone who helped and attended! Hayley x
