I've just spent a really fun, but full on saturday at the art shop and gallery in abergavenny, south wales where I ran two workshops in one day (phew!) In the morning a group of eco warriors, aged 8-10 years, made body armour from recylcled cardboard boxes and packaging. The session started with creative brainstorming, drawing & design. After a break including cakes provided by the (award winning) angel hotel, the designs were then realised in 3D using the HUGE pile of cardboard, some metallic paint, glue, scissors & some brass split pins from my stationary drawer. The results were awesome...
In the afternoon, a busy group of 5-7 year olds created swords and shields using the same huge pile of cardboard boxes & materials. Again, the session began with some creative drawings & designs which were then translated into this arsenal of rather beautiful weaponry.
