Day one, the taster, went really well. We did two different ways to Batik bags; we used melted wax crayons which were then painted onto the cotton bags and then dyed balck, well grey really! The other ones were done using the more traditional was resist technique but painted as in silk painting. Some of the children got to also make print blocks from Easy foam. The hardest thing on these projects is to keep everyone busy and being able to offer things to do while they are waiting stops boredom setting and as well some people like to do lots of things and others like to do one thing and really concentrate.
Organised chaos, lovely children, lovely teacher she is so cool and obliging! Caroline the SNA just gets on with it and the children did too! I will be back Friday and we will Iron the wax and plan and design our wallhanging for the hall and maybe something for the Gathering!!!
