Felt-making and Watercolour Workshops
Wendy is a trained primary school teacher (CRB checked) and local exhibiting artist and has been working with children for more than 24 years. She specialises in Watercolours and Felt-making and has run various workshops for children and adults over the passed 6 years. These give the opportunity for children in schools to engage in these exciting and creative art experiences.
The children can learn how to make “felt” from wool and can either create a large school hanging or individual felt pieces, or experiment with watercolours to create their own amazing paintings.
Many schools have already enjoyed these workshops and evaluation of the workshops from Heads, teachers, parents and the children themselves are extremely positive.
Her most recent workshops have included half and full day sessions for children aged from Year 2 – Year 6. Outcomes include greater creativity, improved artistic technique and experiences, beautiful individual pieces and dramatic displays for the whole school community to enjoy. All workshops can be linked to National Curriculum.
If you are interested in your pupils’ enrichment through the medium of creative art then please do not hesitate to contact Wendy.
