We had a nice workshop today and lots of drawing with the burning pens as well as finishing off the last panel for the standing boxes. Thank you to all of our committed workshop participants!
On November 14, the Killarney Community Centre Senior's Association got together to embellish the panels of the larger 8' x 4' ft planter boxes. Two dozen seniors used river stones to make their marks!
The kids enrolled in our licensed Out-Of-School care program also got involved in the process of embellishing the planter box panels. the younger ones used the salt-dough method, while the others used the wood burning tool. Here are a few works in progress.
The preschoolers learned about bugs and creatures that might live in gardens. Together, we made salt-dough critters, placed them on the wood, toasted the wood with a blow-torch, then lifted them to reveal their shadows. The results were beautiful shadows of creatures and river rocks. Pat Beaton introducing the activity.
