kinder weaving and learning
making patterns
strengthening
knotting
stretching
pulling
fine motor work
color blending
open-ended
each person giving something
one dancing ballet as others wove
collaborating to create something new
feeling the value and joy of public art.

Some of my favorite memories are the faces of students who realize, at the end of a project, that they’ve created something new with only their imagination and hands. What a gift you’ve given them!

That’s a great thing for them do do. I remember having to do cross-stitch at junior school, and taking it home to give to my mum. My dad said only girls do sewing, but I was proud of what I had done.
Best wishes,Pete.

I would like to add how the use of the fence is superb as well, Beth. Blending surroundings into the process should be a lifelong lesson, too. Well done!

Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be”
