Lots of activity today, we had signs to finish off and the children really enjoyed painting them.
We also made birds, upcycling plastic packaging into beautiful colourful bird collages which we will perch in the trees around the Green Patch.
Quinn enjoyed exploring and playing on the mud piles!
and everybody sat on the blue mat to make their birds.
Here is the team with their finished birds!
Carole and Jo also did some more work on their installation for the summer house.
We are designing some new windows for the summer house, and Jo had made a prototype. It fitted perfectly! Next, we started thinking about how we might redesign the windows in the door panels too.
Carole had been busy making other parts out of acrylic for the installation too, and had been finishing off the bunting made in our earlier workshops, sewing down the edges and putting on the backing fabric. They're looking really stunning now!
Well, that's it for our public workshops for now, because we need some time to get all the work made in our workshops installed around the Green Patch site! And we need to make some more work of our own - so keep following the blog for more updates soon -
- and of course for news of the final celebration when we will invite everybody back to see all the work hanging, installed and bringing colour and art to the Green Patch!
What a wonderful account of your adventures at The Green Patch ladies! The sessions were fantastic, and a really wonderful opportunity for local families to explore the site as well as their creativity. We've really enjoyed having you on site and don't want it to end.. although I am eager to see the end result, and to have a bit of a celebration!!!
