A real thing on the table: a crab, a sunflower, a boot.

Paint

04
Show and tell
Every painting is pinned up and every painter says one thing about it.
Questions from parents
Can I stay and watch?
For the first Saturday, yes. After that the children paint better without an audience.
Will their clothes survive?
Our paints wash out of most things, and the aprons cover the rest. Old clothes are still a good idea.
Do you run holiday workshops?
Three mornings in every school holiday, open to children who do not come on Saturdays too.
