Textured Valley: Finshed project
http://texturedvalley.blogspot.com/2015/07/finshed-project.html
Promoting creativity with textiles. Wednesday, 15 July 2015. I'm a bit late in posting the final details of the Mad Hatter Project but with all the goings on for the launch and then the Blarney in Bloom festival itself it was difficult finding the time. On the last day of the workshop in the school we worked with the 3rd and 4th class and took them for the full 2 hours as the 5th and 6th class was unavailable on the day. We were very impressed with all the hard work of all the students of the school, esp...

Textured Valley: Blarney in Bloom
http://texturedvalley.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
Promoting creativity with textiles. Although this year's Blarney in Bloom festival turned into a bit of a washout, there was still a high volume of people around the Arts and Crafts area and the added attraction of being covered over definitely helped! There was Trojan work carried out by everyone who helped out with the set up on the Friday, especially as they have now practically doubled the willow tunnel. There were some interesting ideas floating around from everyone on the day for next year’s ...

http://texturedvalley.blogspot.com/2015/06/firday-12th-june.html
Promoting creativity with textiles. Tuesday, 16 June 2015. I never got round to writing up the blog from last week, but it involved the 5th and 6th Class and 3rd and 4th Class. They were carrying out the last of the paper mache on the large items for the installation. All the pupils were glad to hear that it was the last workshop doing that technique and were looking forward to painting all the objects. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The imagined meanderings of our dreams. My name is Emer Fenlon and...

Textured Valley: Friday 29th May
http://texturedvalley.blogspot.com/2015/06/friday-29th-may.html
Promoting creativity with textiles. Wednesday, 3 June 2015. They did a fantastic job and are all very excited to see what the finished installation will look like. It was now time to start on all the big items for the tea party so the children were getting back to the construction part of the process. For the plates on the plate stand they stuck together the pre-cut cardboard circles. The sugar bowl base is an old plastic plant pot. The bottle is a large fanta bottle. All these items were then covered in...

Textured Valley: May 2015
http://texturedvalley.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Promoting creativity with textiles. Monday, 18 May 2015. We also had some of the children helping to make colourful flag bunting using paint swatch cards and twine which will also be used as decoration around the installation. It was great to see all the painted cups from the day lined up and they created quite and impact with the limited use of colour and it will be exciting to see how they look when all 131 are in place! Monday, 4 May 2015. They started the process with great energy and made a great jo...

Textured Valley: April 2015

Promoting creativity with textiles. Monday, 27 April 2015. All the children thoroughly enjoyed the process and are looking forward to the next stage of painting their teacups. To prepare them for this stage we asked them to look at different patterns on objects in their daily lives that could be used to create their unique designs. Thursday, 23 April 2015. The younger children had the initial part of the construction already done and then applied the base onto their cup using the masking tape. The ju...

Textured Valley: The Blarney in Bloom Launch Day
http://texturedvalley.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-blarney-in-bloom-launch-day.html
Promoting creativity with textiles. Wednesday, 15 July 2015. The Blarney in Bloom Launch Day. Once all the pieces had dried fully from painting, the only thing left to do was to varnish everything to ensure they would be protected from the Irish weather! I used Yacht varnish for this as it has proved to be the most resilient to wet weather. There was a lot of excitement when the students got to see the finished installation in it's place and we had lots of fun pretending to drink tea and eat large cakes!
