Building and inspiring creativity in young children
To raise awareness of river rubbish pollution Henlietta the Duck was created using Hazel and covered in used builder’s bulk bags for the Great Big Green Week. She has been installed on Mill Meadows in Henley-on-Thames and the public are encouraged to feed her (fill her) with recycled rubbish over the summer.
We also ran four primary school workshops making bug hotels out of plastic bottles and bird feeders out of cartons for Great Big Green Week.
We delivered 12 art workshops to over 200 primary aged children from Reception to Year 3 around the Henley Youth Festival’s ‘Going Green’ theme. We made birds out of plastic bottles and owls out of old CDs.
We were delighted to be invited to creative a collaborative art project for the The Chiltern Centre in Henley which provides respite care for young disabled adults.
The young adults decorated pebbles with individual designs using brushes, paint brushes and cotton buds.
The pebbles were then varnished and stuck to river shaped Perspex sheet and installed in their garden.
