Week two will see the children making percussion instruments, followed by two weeks of clay modelling and decorating.
Over the following six weeks, textile artist, Caroline Schofield, will introduce the children to working in 3D with cardboard, found objects and textiles. All activities will be child centred and the participants will be encouraged to give feedback on the workshops to support their development of having a voice in their creativity.
