Working in small circles then coming into the whole, we started a process of learning to connect and create movement together. Small vignettes from our memories of the time spent at the river were created in this way. We also created two different weaving projects. In one of them we collected leaves and using toothpicks made them into small woven tapestries that went from the dark into the light. We attached these with copper wire, adorning each tree.
We then worked with cotton squares and created individual quilt pieces using fabric paint, posca markers, leaves, sticks and marigolds. We pieced these squares together to make a quilt on the grass. Watching at different stages of the rain coming down, the children imagined a rainbow of colours being washed away, and the petals blowing away in the wind.
