The PARTS for kids! class at Ridgeway Elementary is wrapping up on December 8th with a fashion show - the kids are getting excited and photo's will follow:) I have been blown away by the creations that are cropping up. Last week, we began a foray into leather and these kids on onto something haute I tell you. I love the way they look at materials... My one male student is making a necklace from rolled leather attached with bone components, and as for the girls, there is a fabulous leather wrapped hairband swathed in neon feathers to an earth toned metallic hair piece with ribbons and suede - my mind is being blown - go team!
What I love most about this group is the friendships that are forming and how each child is creativity feeding off the others. They came in strangers and now encourage and help each other, joke with one another, share and inspire one another. It's amazing.
The fashion show wraps up before the schools band and choir concert, so we've got the set up and sound covered. There will be scooters and plenty of high fashion attitude. I can't wait to see this group kill it on the runway!
In other news, New CLASSES in the new year!
Starting January 10th, PARTS for kids! will be running sessions for multiple age groups at the Vancouver Jewish Centre (wee ones and school age) and with The Beaumont Gallery (school age and adults). We will likely have another session at Ridgeway too.
Thanks for reading!
