See you there, tomorrow, Sunday! At 4 - 6 West Street, your lovely local community arts arts place and people! will include snow queen in story scape,!!
This Saturday saw a beautiful commission being finished (or almost on the picture above): a proper Christmas crib! Bringing much joy to Chantalle and Sophie, who will take it to Granny in France as a gift.
Meanwhile lots of more gifts were being made, and smiles being created
as this young industrious student of Jenni has not got enough hands to carry home all that she created in one session! Thankfully mum had a hand free to help carrying ;-)
Other gifts made by clever young hands include this wetfelted picture
At same time other hands were busy cutting the prepared hand felted sheets into colourful soft decorations to be sold next Saturday at the Christmas fair in the town hall.
THANK YOU, Vicen!
Hope you enjoy watching a bit more of the hands as they move....
.... and make beautiful unique gifts - from mother nature, and (unlike so painfully much of other stuff on sale for gifts in much of our consuming driven world!) for mother nature to take care of painlessly should they need to be discarded again - you can put them into your compost!!
This week Jenni and Alicia took our breath away!
To honour princess Niamh turning 4,
the central act!
the magical story scape creation of the snow queen was unveiled: nearly fully fledged story teller Jenni with first time puppeteer maker and enactor Alicia (who confessed she nearly died with terror ;-)) performed with poise and spark to say the least, - holding spellbound a circle of mums and toddlers and older kids...
After the performance - as always - the kids enjoyed to create their own phantastic stories inspired by the touch and sight of our self made magical story scape
Hope to see you all for our December open Making Space at West Street, Arts Centre, upstairs, in room 1. From 11.30 am - 1.30pm. We should be having the fire on again, I hope. And make seasonal gifts and decorations out of magic wool fibre!
Saying that: if you had anything you want to share making: just bring it along, and share your skills :-)
You can also come and sit and watch, or bring your knitting!
The snow queen is coming to visit us tomorrow on our last story scape session of the year, so I hear?
I wonder what she looks like! I heard she has slightly changed since she came along in the above garb. And that her story has changed too?
I am curious - and so are you!
Therefore: see you tomorrow between 1.30 and 3pm in the community room of the Penicuik Library for our last story scape session of the year there.
And if that is not enough to tempt you, there will be a birthday cake!
For our special little princess's 4th big anniversary day:
