I have been holding weekly sessions of a craft club at my children's primary school. I opted to teach the juniors this time as they are at an age where they can follow the briefs I have set and follow the instructions.
We have designed hand sewn stockings, christmas cards, giant swedish designs snowflakes using a paper cut technique and string and glue wrapped baubles. The sewing was by far the most satisfying as it is a lost skill in many children's craft and art experiences. I wanted over the five weeks of hourly sessions to help them produce something quickly, cheaply and accessible and for them to feel confident enough to go home and continue with the crafts themselves. Planning Spring sessions next!
