Following our creative workshop with Anne-Marie from Lakeland Arts, we had the opportunity to visit the Space2Create centre to attach our flowers and meet some of the 'In the Moment' group.
On Friday afternoon, we walked down by the river to the Space2Create centre where we were greeted by the group members. We presented the felt flower garland that we had made as a class and our sponsor money - we got a great big round of applause! We then shared our individual flowers, chatted to the group members about how we had made them before taking our flowers outside and attaching them to the display. We had a great afternoon.
We have since received some lovely feedback about how inspirational we were and thanking us for sharing our creativity and energy. We can't wait to get involved in the next project.
The 'In the Moment' group are holding an open day on Saturday 28th May for our families and friends to pop in and see what we have made and have a go at a little bit of felt making.
Thank you to our families and friends for our sponsorships and our helpers on Friday.
