We find ourselves fortunate to have not only the experience and craft knowledge within our own dedicated team, but to have access to local craftspersons and artists who we call upon for demonstrations, workshops and practical advice.
The Craft Shop teamed up with
local artist and children's craft exhibitor Terri at a Bug Fest held in
Yeovil, Somerset recently. Terri's Treasure ran a stall that used the
Wizard Shrink Art and Sculpey modeling clay.
Our very own Dawn
sat in the hot seat helping the children colour in their Shrink Art
craft designs, then shrinking them with the hot air from a hot air blower. The
children loved to watch the bug designs they made spin in the heat and
shrink before their eyes. Once cooled, Dawn would fix a clasp to their
shrunken art and the child would wear it with pride. Great fun!
Terri
set the standard of excellence in the Sculpey modeling clay. Having
already made and displayed hundreds of easy to make bug designs, the
children would follow her example by creating their own crafty bug
model.
Children and parents joined in the fun of creating
tiny model bugs , molding the soft colourful clay into bug shapes.
Each child's design being unique and made with pride. The soft clay
creature was placed in a pot for the journey home so that it could
be baked hard in the oven.
A fantastic time for us all, when doing children's craft the magic is always there.
The energy and enthusiasm never stops.
The Craft Shop will soon be running the same Sculpey workshop with Terri, the date is yet to be confirmed.
