Treasures of the Sea - the hunt begins this week!

~ stop press ~

we are pleased to announce that our wee bunch of trusty crafty volunteers has had the great fortune of welcoming

Wendy Dodds

 a new volunteer tutor who - as registered creche worker - has the official disclosure!

This makes it possible for us to offer a limited number of places to children without accompanying adults.  

So, please book your place quickly by phoning Jenni on 07769 228028

Come on - be caught in Mary's net - or make your own... to catch YOUR treasures of the sea!

 

We start this Thursday with sifting through floatsam, meeting chatty sea creatures, and new friends you thought you could not have as friends... 

We are looking forward to see where YOU would like to take your treasure making and sharing to... and you will also meet a few old friends!

six sessions:
4.15pm - 5.15pm at West Street, upstairs, room 1; suggested donation per child per session £1.50

remember the story scape session we had in the Library ?

and remember to visit http://makingspacepenicuik.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/celebrating-our-cool-cats-sessions.html to check what we were up to last year with our after school story scape sessions!

After-school sessions starting in 2 weeks!

Don't miss to book your place for this here:

After last years success of the Cool Cats Story board making, where young and old united for some cool creativity after school on the dricht wintering afternoons, we invite you to join in with splashing into the sea of mad creativity to discover and create spring seas of treasures.

We will start with making our nets to catch them, and then - well, wait and sea? 

Disney daftness in Townhall

2 Disney Movies are coming up soon in the townhall, screened by the Penicuik Cinema.
"UP" (this coming Sunday, Feb 10!) and the "Lion King" (24th March)

Click here or see below a little bit of what we have been up the last Saturday of January - Mary's magic cast out over UP - and the first Saturday of February - Jenni's and Sara's approaches to Lions -  and how we all engaged to explore the characters and themes with dry and wet felting and drawings:

Cinematic felting!

The Saturday sessions have started ! 

Feltmaking to the theme the films 

showing at the Penicuik Cinema are giving us!

with love from and for the PCAA and our local community

A wee blog post today to celebrate our creative local community:

Horses Horses Horses!

This weeks Saturday in the Townhall crafting session was inspired by the War Horse film (on show in Townhall tomorrow Sunday 6th January, screened by the Penicuik Cinema). The preparation for today's session was done by Andrea

who is very keen to also raise funds for an orphaned Pony!

Andrea and her family and friends prepared horse templates for flat dry felted 2D horses (see picture above) or horsey pictures. To prepare for a craft session is a great way for a child to share her enthusiasm, knowledge and skills with the wider community. And Andrea has lots and has been the champion of Making Space Penicuik for more than 2 years now!!

New Year!

 

Happy New Year to everyone!

Very slowly only are we re-emerging from our midwinter hiatus.

Still have not managed to update our blog here properly, so apologies are due to all who  have been visiting looking for recent updates. We manage to post them on facebook better!

As you can see from above picture of our new wee program, we made some changes to our town hall Crafting in the Community routine: we will be there 2x a month now, and link themes with cinema and season. Hope you enjoy coming along!

There will be a new after school block of sessions: "Treasures of the Sea" and we are  starting to take bookings now. Either via this blog, facebook or via Jenni's mobile.

We hope also that we can report son that we still have a Penicuik Community  Arts Centre, and then will update our blog here accordingly. For today: hope to see you there:
