Map Collages at Ireleth St Peters School

 We rolled into Ireleth St Peters School today, and had a marvellous morning  with our Askam and Ireleth map collage workshop.

We worked with the whole school and their staff in their assembly hall. We provided the children with ariel photographs of their local area, and several mountains of fabric, card and interesting coloured/textured recyclables from Ulverston Scrap store and over the morning they made these collages and models.

Some of these images will be included in our project video, and they will be displayed around the school.

It was a great morning; the group found the balance between serious intent and fun, they worked well together, asked the right questions, solved their own problems and produced work that delights and surprises and exhibits their skill and thoughtfulness.

Earlier, we took to Ulverston Market Place, loaded down with fabric and goodies from Ulverston Scrapstore under a Gazebo provided by Ulverston Community Enterprises, and took part in Enough Is Enough, a day of action highlighting the presence of projects like the Scrapstore and ourselves. 

 Sooner or later the whole town drops by, and its a great way of engaging with people, letting them know what we do, what's coming up and how to get involved.

Our thanks to Jacqui Wright for setting the school session up,  to the children and the school staff and to Amy Stretch-Parker for the recommendation.

Cracking couple of days.  More pictures below..
