NOYES FLUDDE
PROJECT: Your involvement
Friday April 12th –
9.00 am Wiltshire Music Centre. Hat making experiments.
Please come to this
if you would be interested in using your creativity to explore ways of helping
primary school children to characterise a bowler hat (felt, provided) as their
chosen animal. It’s a ‘find-out-by-doing’ morning. Should be a lot of fun. We
plan to try to pre-empt potential difficulties, discover best methods, and look
for ways of enabling children to use their creativity to suggest an animal of
their choice. Bring scissors, maybe glue? Glue guns? We shall need
textured or naturalistic fabrics, bits of raffia, ?wood shavings?? Anything to
suggest scales, manes, beaks, hide, fur, pelts, ears, whiskers, feathers, real
or paper, slime, shell, eyes, any particular characteristic, you name it!! Tom
(our designer) will provide a couple of prototypes to get us going. He is also
thinking of decorated spectacles to represent the birds. We need to find
someone who will do a bit of online research to find very cheap sunglasses
?ebay? or unwanted 3D specs. Perhaps we should also start a town collection
of unwanted big framed specs? We would like to offer this activity to those of
you who would also be prepared to help in the classroom workshops during the
week beginning June 03. We shall need a number of committed helpers plus additional
administrative help to organise and promote.
Friday April 12th -
11.30 am Wiltshire Music Centre.
After the hat
making session above - A meeting to discuss
other production needs and seek volunteers to create small teams to select/
adapt / organise
a) costumes for the show
b) the community rainbow
making workshop – this is a lovely
community wide project for end May involving making a huge patchwork rainbow
out of squares of recycled fabric.
We have the design
and spec for this but need additional proactive helpers as there will need to
be a community-wide drive to collect the fabric, organise venue, publicity,
etc. It will also be great publicity for the event.
