Biodegradable, Sun Catchers Workshop – ‘No glues, no plastics, no toxins’. In this one-hour workshop, children will explore the natural environment and use finds to make beautiful colourful sun catchers from handmade paper. The materials will include beautiful petals, herbs, leaves and flowers to make delicate handmade paper with pretty colours, magical scents, and a focus on sustainability. Looking back at earlier times when children didn’t have access to glues, markers or paints, discover ways to make art using natural organic items which are not harmful to the environment.
