 |
| Sketching Nonsuch Manor on the
Tudor London Bridge |
Children from Stepney Greencoats, &
Sir William Burrough Schools are very excited to be part of
a project with "Stitches in Time" and the
Museum of Docklands. |
|
 |
| Sketching Victorian Artifacts |
The Museum has asked them to create a tapestry to hang in
their Entrance hall. Children from the
schools, along with parents, a local women’s group, Elders
from Locksley and Stepney, with artists from
Stitches in Time, visited the museum and sketched different exhibits on display.
|
|
 |
| Sketching Tudor Dock-workers tools |
The children spent an afternoon
looking at artifacts linked to their class work. Children
from Stepney Greencoats looked at Victorian artifacts and
the children from Sir William Burrough looked at Tudor artifacts.
|
|
 |
| Transfering a sketch onto material |
When everyone had finished sketching their artifacts, they
all went back to their schools and centres. The next stage
was to begin transfering each sketch onto material.
|
|
 |
| Di demonstrating how to transfer
sketches |
They used carbon paper to transfer
the sketch onto the material, and then outlined them in ink.
|
|
 |
| Painting their material patches |
When the image was transfered, the children painted their
material patches, before they started sewing them.
