Easter Workshop

Finally! After a month of holidays and chocolate and lost camera software and general dizziness, here are the pictures of the Easter art workshop!

We had a great time over the two days. The weather was fab on Monday, and everybody
sportingly stuck it out on a cool and windy Tuesday. The eggs looked beautiful, a great effort from both children and grown ups. There were some very creative results - 3D butterflies, multicoloured layered flowers and lots of glitter! Every finished giant egg was rewarded with a little shiny chocolate egg.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter holiday, not long til half term now....that reminds me, next holiday workshop details coming soon!

Matisse Collage

Here are some photographs from the Matisse workshop today. We learned about Henri Matisse, and how he loved to create pictures using beautifully coloured paper and a huge pair of scissors. Then we created our own collage pictures, carefully selecting colours and shapes to make a narrative composition.
