Clay at Blackheath Library

The first workshop for the school holidays was Clay Art at Blackheath Library. Have a look at these amazing clay creations - from a native bee hive, to toadstools, a Japanese Kokeshi doll, an Adventure Time character and all sorts of underwater creatures, there were so many great ideas!

                                              

CD Weaving

Based on this great art lesson by Make it...a Wonderful Life, today’s class was a lot of fun.

I pre-made the cd ‘looms’ to save class time.

We used plastic needles with large thread holes.

Great work everyone! 

PS...check out Joni’s special weaving video below :D

Summer Story Zines

What’s a zine? it's a mini, homemade magazine. You make it about something you’re interested in, and make it the way you want it to look.

Artist Liam Benson and I taught a Summer Story Zines workshop at Springwood Library these school holidays - have a look below at some of the fun zines made!
