Local Nomad made a trip up north to Walsall’s First Friends Nursery to try out our workshop ideas.
We kicked off with ‘Painting with Puddles’, using coloured painted we filled tyres, buckets, chairs... you name it. The playground was transformed into an interactive sculpture. We had reams of white fabric to experiment with dying in the coloured puddles. The children rushed out to see what this new exciting addition to their playground was. Some jumped (literally) right in, and others took a little longer but soon everyone was playing with the colourful puddles and the fabric. This culminated in many beautiful patterns on the fabric. The children has also made coloured splashes on the playground from our puddles.
Whilst the children had lunch we lay the fabric out to dry. After the children had finished their lunch we began our afternoon workshop where we stretched the fabric from the nursery fence to bamboo sticks we had installed. The children had lots of fun stretching and weaving the fabric making hiding places and divides across the grass – it looked wonderful as you can see. At the end of a fantastic day we had a magnificent multicoloured installation
