Frankenstein Toys

At Katoomba today, teen designers and artists created creepy hybrid sculptures out of old plush toys. I love them! What is your favourite piece?

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

Recycled Robots

Today, Springwood Library was taken over by marvellous robotic creations. I’m sure they must’ve been at the library to get some sci-fi books.

The library staff had been kindly collecting their recyclables for this class for ages, and I'm over the moon about the variety of objects we could use today.

The kids used sticky tape, staples, electrical tape and masking tape (my personal favourite) to connect the pieces and create amazing robots.

Great work everyone!!

Artworks Inspired by Artist Sarah Goffman
