Second Fabric Design Workshop

The second t-shirt decorating workshop was a success at Turtle and Moon on Wednesday afternoon. All the children designed their shirts in advance, then using textile paints, markers, or fabric pens went to work on the real thing. Several adults helped out, drawing rabbits, aeroplanes, or trucks, and the shirts were last seen hanging to dry from every available space in the courtyard.

Unfortunately the afternoon was marred by an accident: while playing around after finishing his shirt, little Marios fell and fractured his arm. We all wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him at the workshops next week

Children's Fabric Design Workshop

T-shirt tie dieing was the afternoon workshop at Turtle and Moon on Monday. Lise and various adults showed the older children how to twist their t-shirts and tie them tightly, and helped the younger ones whose smaller fingers weren’t quite up to the task. There were four colour options: black, dark blue, light blue, and pink, and everyone had a choice.

Smiles all around when the knots were cuts, the strings unwound, and the t-shirts revealed their surprising patterns.

Lise will be running another children’s fabric design workshop this coming Wednesday from 4.00-5.30 at turtle and Moon. Come and join the fun!
