Just before everything got crazy I was lucky enough to deliver a workshop to some lovely creative children at All Saints Primary School near Bolton…

They were so inspired by Bolton Museums` amazing natural collection…and produced some wonderful designs.We designed a tear drop shape using the collections and then created pin pricks in our designs. A lot of the children found the pin pricking really relaxing…..I must say I do as well.

It was such a lovely sunny day, so we went outside and lay their designs in a Mandala formation on the grass. They are pictured here at home, as it was a little windy!  We all had a chance to say what we liked about a design.What an amazingly creative and relaxing morning! I can`t wait to see these beautiful designs as part of the laser cut Mandala. Thanks to their amazing teacher for all your support too.

I had such a lovely day at Belmont primary school last week…whilst it snowed outside amazing creativity happened inside! Thanks to all the lovely staff who helped I was so impressed by the childrens` concentration and creativity.

We used Bolton Museums` amazing collection of shells and butterflies as inspiration for our designs and look at the designs that were created! WOWEEE!

All these beautiful designs will make up a community mandala…I can`t wait to see what they all look like once they are laser cut.
