Hand made felt & Batik workshops with parents
Small groups of interested parents were invited to attend workshops with the potential that their children could then participate either at home or by offering other sessions within the nursery setting. During the afternoon session they created various 3D felts such as bags, boots or hats.

‘I have had such a lovely afternoon, thank you. It has been fun, relaxing & I will go away with some fantastic ideas to use with my children (& Guides). Thank you very much.’

‘Wonderful course. Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Lovely people – very friendly & welcoming.’

On another occasion parents expressed an interest to work with more fabric techniques so they had a go at Batik. Using hot wax and dyes to create patterns on the surface of the fabric, they then transformed these into cards, fabrics for cushion covers or as a picture to be framed.

“A great creative morning! Haven’t done a hot wax type of batik before – an interesting experience!”

“Thank you for giving us the opportunity to play, express, experiment with paints + tools that we don’t have at home. It’s been wonderful, inspirational and great fun!”
