Today, the Epicentre in Leytonstone was buzzing with families celebrating Story Feast, a wonderful poetry project for primary schools developed and delivered by the Discover Children's Story Centre. Families listened to and joined in with story telling, invented poems, made art and sculpture. Children created a wooly walkway into the event, some spending hours carefully interweaving, others working in joyful bursts. We joked they would receive a ball of wool for their birthdays, so absorbed were they by the process!
As participants threaded and wrapped I captured their imaginative descriptions of the growing wooly web:
Spider girl!
A trap
A maze
Cobweb
Zig Zag
Colossal
Mega web
Climbing
Tangly
Sticky as honey
Ready!
3D drawing
Wooly thinking
