Welcome crafters 2017-18!

While Waldorf Education and crafting go hand in hand, sometimes parent groups ebb and flow. This iteration of the Hartsbrook community crafting group is now in its 3rd year, launched by the crafting sessions hosted by Amanda Viles and Magdalena Toran in fall 2015 for early childhood parents to  make holiday fair crafts together. We are excited to have some parents new to the school joining us this year. Welcome!

As is our tradition, we will make small crafts in September and October for the Treasures in a Haystack and the Children's Bazaar activities at the holiday fair in November. We may prepare some kits for parents to work on at home, if requested. We use materials we can find, from acorns to thread, and always welcome contributions of felt, wool roving, yarn, or found natural materials like pinecones. We do have an abundance of small, tight pinecones from a previous year, so ideas for what to make with them would be handy.

Check the schedule on the right of this blog page for each week's activity plan. Usually each has a link to a post with details about the craft and what materials and tools are needed. Sometimes we coordinate ordering supplies for certain crafts from our school store.

If you have questions or suggestions, please contact parent Jennie Abbingsole (or comment here).
