After my artist-in-residency at Holderness School last March, I was invited to take part in a program at the Kenneth A. Brett School this winter (thanks to the Art Council of Tamworth). Here are some highlights from our first two days with the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. On Day 1, students made either a no-sew pillow (project #30 from Generation T: Beyond Fashion: 120 New Ways to Transform a T-shirt) or the Outer Lace tank top (project #16 from Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt). On Day 2, they chose between making a no-sew mohawk-style hat (project #72, GT:BF) or the Back in Action tee (project #101, GT:BF). And a few students were inspired to use their scraps to become ninjas! Here they are getting crafty:
Stay tuned for Days 3 and 4! More crafty times ahead…
