Fourth workshop of the week, and the last workshop in primary schools for the Didsbury Arts Festival community arts project ‘Waste2Waves’ with . Hundreds of children have taken part in Old Moat, Burnage and Didsbury. This time we were working with its year 5 class. The kids were amazing, helping to create plastic fabric for the sculpture and they all made individual fish using waste plastics. When we asked how being creative made them feel they used words like ‘brilliant’, ‘calm’, ‘proud’. Creativity rocks. We can’t wait to see their work at this summer’s festival.
