Just returned from the open day workshop at Pollards Hill at the New Horzion Centre there. Viv has designed a very manageable and appealing workshop and many young people were popping over to the table to take part. i took a number of photos as they got stuck in which you should be able to see with this blog. Viv provides participants with all they need including fresh towels to dry their hands with after the have been using the soap and water to make the felt. With the large loom/ small looms and the threads/ felt and other materials it can be quite a bit to bring along - feels very well prepared. The participants also made the flowers on the mini loom. it maybe in an earlier blog i recall Viv telling me that she was going to experiment with this. it works well and participants pick it up quickly and can see the benefits of their efforts. Viv has a vision now of how her workshops will produce the end pieces - she envisages participants making the large felt piece using shades of green and then working with them to create flowers and bugs/ insects which will make a panel that can be shared at the various centres we are working at. Viv may also like to create similar pieces using blues to create a water based panel. watch this space!
