Paper Making at Violet Lane

The Big Art People just got back from two days outside in the glorious sunshine at Violet Lane School in Burton-on-Trent.
In just one of a whole programme of upcoming projects at the school, we ran paper making sessions with all four Reception classes.
The children loved ripping, mashing, pulping, and forming the paper; and we were glad of a few days in the sun after the last few weeks of office work.
The paper will be dried over the Easter holidays, then taken back to the school to form part of a giant woodland-themed installation.

The paper the children are recycling was very generously donated by Bryant Priest Newman Architects in Birmingham after we put out a plea for waste paper on Twitter.
