Art & Wild Nature Foundation Children's Recycling Workshop


Saturday afternoon saw a busy crowd at the studio: two projects were on the go. The children and their accompanying adults were busy covering stones with mosaic from broken ceramic tiles, and building a papier mache turtle from an old enamel bowl, some chicken wire, and discarded newspapers.








The turtle is as yet unfinished -- she needs more covering and a coat or two of paint. But when she's finished, either next Saturday or the one following, look out for her in the garden!



















Come and join us at Turtle and Moon next Saturday at three in the afternoon for another Art and Wild Nature Foundation Trash to Treasure Children's Recycling workshop.

Autumn Recycling Workshop for Children





The theme of our Children’s Recycling Workshop on Saturday October 31 was autumn, and in celebration of the change in the weather the children made a banner wall hanging. Using a large sheet of white fabric and decorating it with paint, markers, and fabric off-cuts donated by a local shop the children created an autumn scene complete with swirling leaves, raindrops, and umbrellas. Wishful thinking? Maybe… the first rains have already fallen in parts of the Paphos area, and we are hoping for more to replenish dams and wash the dust from wilting foliage.

Workshops for children will take place every Saturday for the next two months at Turtle and Moon from 3-5 p.m. Join us in turning trash to treasure!
