A few pictures from this afternoon's recycled paper making workshop at the Lightbox Library in Barnsley.

We used paper making frames and lots of different decorating materials to make our own unique recycled paper.

It was a little bit messy but really fun. 🎨 📰

Stunning wet felting artwork created today by Year 6 children at Heyhouses Primary in Lytham St Annes. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, the children layered wool and used soap and water to bind the fibres. 🎨

And as the sun was shining, I finished the day with a run on the seafront. 🌞🏃‍♀️

I only managed to get a couple of pictures at yesterday's Folk Festival in Barnsley. The reason I only got a couple was because I was SO BUSY!

So many people came along to listen to the music and watch the shows. It was great to be part of and lovely to see so many people have a go at willow weaving.

Today I am working with reception at Little Sutton Primary School and we are creating something a bit different. Inspired by the upcoming World Cup, we created our own felt football pitch. The children loved laying the wool and adding soap and water to combine the fibres.

This afternoon we will be doing the same with the other class of reception children.
