We are nearly done our 10 weeks of Waldorf-inspired art classes for kids! It's been a fun series, filled with beautiful hands-on projects that were tactile, nature-based, and fun. We've seen the children become familiar with each other, at home in our learning space, and new friendships are developing - which is so wonderful since we will continue to have these kids and their families interacting within our larger homeschool community in the coming years. We feel so honoured to have had the chance to lead these art sessions here, and look forward to a new series of classes starting again in the new year (mid-January).
Registration will be open here shortly.
This past week was a flurry of tissue paper and glue as we made simple mason jar lanterns with the kids. They glued the tissue paper on the outside of mason jars and tied on fresh cedar twigs. When lit with a candle the cedar makes a beautiful wintery silhouette. This could also be done by gluing dried leaves on the jar for a fall pattern. The older group (the Green Saplings) also had time to make folded paper stars out of rainbow coloured Japanese silk paper. Simple, elegant, festive - lighting up these dark days of November and December as we wait for the sun to come back and days to lengthen.
