Bookmaking 3/6/2015




We did a workshop on Bookmaking with artist Linda Ravenswood that was a huge success, each child sewed a small folio (book) and then was able to turn it into whatever they wanted. There were joke books, journals, sticker books, cook books, books of mystical creatures and so many more.









The Exploratory, Circuit Blocks 2/6/15

   We were so excited to have The Exploratory (theexploratory.com) come and do a project with us on electricity. The kids worked with circuits blocks and alligator clips to work out the function of a circuit, teamed up in groups of two they added complexity to their circuits as they gained understanding. Working with supplied materials the design challenge was then to build something around their circuit that would make someone laugh.
