Saturday Creative Club IV

This week was my last Creative Club with Borderland Voices. I'm really sad to leave the group but am really happy with all the things that they have learnt. Julie was here to help today and all the girls had some useful hints to help her with her wire sculpture. This is what she came up with...



We decided to make different things this week so we had some wonderful different designs. Ashleigh had finished off her horse at home and brought him/her in for us to see...

She also put some paper onto her Dragonfly's wings which looks great!


Then she made this lizzard...(again thanks to Paul for providing us with the background)

And then this for Tip our little visitor...

Holly made this brilliant elephant...



and quickly put together this bird for her Mum...



Aber spent a lot of time on this rabbit and I think it was really worth the effort...


And quickly made this tiny frog before having to go...

I made a little Tip sculpture too. I really enjoyed my workshops with Borderland Voices, thank you for having me!

St Ethelwold's Primary School

My last workshop for Oriel Wrecsam was with St Ethelwold's Primary School. I had already been there last week to do some animation workshops...


Again we started with the pipe cleaners...



and quickly moved on to the trickier garden wire...



And finally we made some beautiful butterflies!



The butterflies were decorated with pipe cleaners and all looked great!

Brynteg Primary School II

My second day at Brynteg was with Mrs Pugh's class. We started with the pipe cleaner men...


Then practiced with the garden wire...



Then attempted to make some Japanese rice bowls. Inspired by a subject the class were already working with...

Mrs Pugh said that the class might work on the bowls again, perhaps decorating them with papier mache so that they can paint them.

Brynteg Primary School I

This Monday I went to visit Mrs Wells' class at Brynteg Primary School. Throughout the day I taught the class some wire sculpture and this is what they created.

The first task was to make some stick men out of pipe cleaners...



We then moved on to using more sophisticated techniques with the garden wire...


And finally we put ourselves to the test to create some Giraffes...



I had a really great day with the class and it was wonderful to see them picking up the wire sculpture skills so quickly. Thank you for having me!

Saturday Creative Club III

This weekend we put our skills to the test to make some four legged animals.

We started with a demonstration of a Giraffe, Holly and Aber came up with some great ones...


Ashleigh of course chose to do something a little different a created this cute little cat...



Then we had a bit of a play which resulted in this pair of glasses...



and this little puppy, inspired by our visitor Tip(?) who might be joining us again next week...



Ashleigh started a horse but has taken him home to finish, so we'll see what he looks like next week.

Saturday Creative Club II

This week we attempted some tricky larger scale bugs, we had some Butterflies...



and a Dragon Fly...


With Sheena just making one up...


I think they all look great especially with the Moon Scape background, thanks Paul. With the spare couple of minutes we had left we made some tiny spiders...



and a mosquito too!
