Wool room
If you've not been to the wool room, you're in for a treat. Here Linda puts together the most amazing pieces from scratch. Wool is washed, carded, spun, felted, - whatever you can do to wool is done here.
Different varities from different kinds of sheep.
Wool that's been washed. Ready to be treated, etc.

Woodwork
You may or may not know that children start doing woodwork from Class 5 onwards.
This is class 5's first project - a christmas mobile. The children have designed and sawn the pieces themselves. It will then be sanded down and then decorated and painted with glitter varnish.
Something a bit more complicated for Class 10. A christmas nativity set. The wood was donated by Lara McCann and comes from her orchard - ash, perfect for working with.
Luke de Villanuve the woodwork teacher and sculptor, gives a hand to the finishing touches with a stool.
Doing the shepherd.
