Caroline has a real eye for colour and circles. She  has been drawing on slate today combining the bright coloured tones of pencils.

Willow has been the chosen material of the day. The students harvested the willow from our supply on site here at Horticap. They have bound and bended the branches together making open shapes to weave through. Mark has really got into the swing of it!

Pat is a real wiz at weaving and doing intricate work, i think we will be developing her thoughtful out work further!

Fraiser loves drawing Gremlins and playing the fool. His willow turns into a crown!

We have been setting up the students exhibition today. It starts on Saturday 1st June come on down and have a look at all our talented students art work!

 

 

It is Rob's first time with the group and i think we have a natural talent on our hands. See the finished product at the students exhibition from the 1st of June http://horticapartexhibitions.blogspot.co.uk/ 

David and Vicky are utilizing off cuts from pallets. The pieces will eventually be used as name tags and the design of a tree.

Here are the finished recycled waste bins we started last week. They are now available to buy in the shop as Herb Pots and Kindling containers.

The students are being very industrious today. Tom is painting text on these metal bins so we can sell them in our shop

Steven is preparing tags to put on our gift tree that will be used at our bi-annual Garden Party held in June.

                                     

Vicky is making paper bunting for our Garden party from swatches donated by James Brindleys of Harrogate

Carl is using felt tip pens and is engrossed in his linear drawings of houses. 

Today Alastair has explored mark making on sandpaper.

David is drawing on glass with acrylic paints. He has been scratching the surface of the paint to reveal the clear glass beneath

Mark is exploring using pastels on different surfaces. This is helping him to become a little looser with his mark making.

Paula loves flowers and is using oil pastels to draw masses of bright patterns.
