A classroom demonstration showing
how, in the
past, fleece has been prepared and spun into wool

Ready to recycle?
Links with
QCA
Art: Unit 1B/2B/ Geography studies
Looking at recycling from an
artist's point of view,
we will examine and classify a variety of
recycled
objects, textiles and packaging, as well as look at
how
Harlequin Arts uses some of these in textile art.
We will also
experiment with methods used in
textile art such as folding, scrunching,
tearing,
cutting, pleating, joining, gathering.
These “hands on”
demonstrations may be adapted
for KS1 or KS2
and should last around 1½
hours.
