We only have two weeks left now, so we have started to look back and think about how much we`ll miss our friday mornings…one group member said,”Coming to this course has made me want to make more things and now i want to do everything!.”

It was our last chance to finish off our designs on friday so we were really busy trying to get everything ready….

We put our necklaces on chains/ cord and they looked amazing!…

For the next two weeks we decided to create an origami book of all our designs over the past ten weeks. 

During the Easter break i had time to spend a lovely morning laser cutting all the groups`designs and here are some of the results….

Once we have added a chain this is going to be a necklace…

This is going to be brooch….

Time seems to be going so quickly….we finished our beak books and started to get our circular designs ready to be laser cut into mirrors….

We`re going to get this lady`s beautiful drawing etched into walnut and made into a picture. We break up for Easter so there is no session this friday- i`ll miss it!

I`m working on a project with Cartwheel Arts, where i`ll be working with a local high school on a book project starting soon. I had the opportunity to explore Rochdale archive to gather inspiration for the project…i started looking through the Rochdale Observer in the 1920s and found the most beautiful adverts….i couldn`t help laughing at the wording…

We finished our circular patterns…we`re not sure entirely how we will use these maybe to create a three- dimensional card or picture…

We carried on working on our beak books….

We designed bookmarks taking inspiration from this one i found at a heritage venue….

Here is one of the designs….we`re going to get all the bookmark designs cut out of walnut…
