Young Arts 2014-16

In 2014 HADFAS sponsored a project at Lady Zia Wernher School in Luton. It was challenging as all the children were disabled, but this made it especially rewarding, and the fountain which we helped them to make will give them pleasure for years to come. In 2014 Helen Robinson helped the children of High Beeches School Harpenden to make two stained glass windows for the new extension of their school.The adults cut up the glass pieces ( safety reasons !) and the children placed them on the outline. The result was two splendid windows depicting ' Night' and 'Day '
Our last project in October 2016 was at the Harpenden Academy. With the help of HADFAS members and some parents we helped the 8 to 11 year olds to sew a large banner for their library. It was a challenge for the children as many had not really sewn before. However they mastered blanket, chain and cross stitch and sewed on many buttons and beads. Each one made a book illustrating their favourite story, and they also sewed a beautiful representation of their old Victorian School building.
