This morning we made the most of the beautiful morning. Alistair & David hung willow hoops made by the students, in the wildlife area of our gardens creating an outdoor installation. 

 

Silk Painting

Today Carl & Jamie are making scarves by painting onto silk! This beautiful scarf will be available to buy along with many others made by the students here at Horticap from late November

Today Alistair is working coloured pencils into pieces of wood found on our site. He is especially good at creating texture by pressing down hard with the pencils onto the wood.

Michael is having great fun making Angels from old books. Watch this space for this developing work for the students Exhibition at the end of the year. 

Today we have a new member of the Art group; Paul. He has never drawn before but is doing very well creating "Brenda's" greenhouse with pencil and coloured pencils.

James  creates another one of his fabulous detailed drawings, he leaves nothing out!

Jamie has been inspired by a balloon he saw early this morning. He has been learning new techniques with the painting brush and using them to great effect!
