Arts & Crafts Workshops 24.-25.4.2012

On Tuesday 24.4. and Wednesday 25.4. we had different school days in Töölö: the pupils didn't have normal lessons but participated in two creative workshops instead. The options included mosaics, textile crafts, graffiti art, filming a documentary, woodcraft, electronics, miniatures... among many others! The pupils had suggested the themes themselves and could pick two workshops in total. It was a lot of work, but everyone had an enjoyable time and the outcome was an amazing array of beautiful, creative, original art- and craftwork! Below is a sample of the work we did.

The Finnish teachers and pupils have only three school days left before the start of the summer holiday. So, wish you all a warm, happy summer! Finland will be back with new themes in the autumn!
