India and Bulgaria banners

For our International Voices concert at De Montfort Hall at the beginning of February, I am working with some groups to create artwork for the foyer. Here, class 2 (5 and 6 year olds) are making colourful banners, one representing India and one Bulgaria!

Last night's STAFF KIDS ART CLUB

Yesterday I ran a FREE art club for Rawlins staff's children aged from 5 to 12. We had 12 participants (and one mum!) and enjoyed a table-full of squiggly spiders, gargoyle faces and dotty doodling. It was such good fun, I will definitely offer this again!

NEW after school club at Cossington

Key stage 1 children (18 in all!) enjoyed a lovely art club last night on the subject of 'the world'. We took a round frame made of wire and filled it with tissue papers, foils and feathers to create colourful and expressive window hangings which either depicted our vision of the globe or ourselves in the world. The children, aged 6 and 7 absolutely amazed me with their creativity and ability.

The special thing about this club is that we are working towards an art exhibition I am organising at the International Voices event, De Montfort Hall.

BOOKING NOW FOR AFTER SCHOOL CLUB

3D art attacks! Starting NEXT THURSDAY!

Clay nativity

And for the true meaning of Christmas...many children made adorable clay nativity scenes with us at Christmas Art Camp.

Have a happy and peaceful Christmas from me and all of the staff and children that make happy art and craft activities across the Loughborough area.

Origami pixie boots- a Hayley favourite!

Almost my favourite activity ever, and it really caught on at Christmas art camp! I know you are all out there making these from napkins!
