Arty Crafty 2020 – Circus Theme


List of Materials for Free Online Arty Crafty Classes 2020

I am so sad to say that we have had to cancel the Arty-Crafty Classes due to the Covid-19 restrictions this Summer BUT all is not lost as my daughter, Sheleen and I, Regina Glynn have decided to make our art classes available to all for free online, on my Arty Crafty web page http://reginaglynn.com/ . It begins on Monday, the 6th of July and will run for that week until Friday, the 10th of July.

There will be various videos in the blog section of my website. You firstly type www.reginaglynn.com into the search bar of your internet browser. When on my web page go to the ‘Blog’ section which is the first green word underneath my logo to see the various videos for each day.

The theme is ‘The Circus’. There will be three or four projects for the two different levels, younger children,  older children and teenagers. All projects can be done by any age, if there are younger children wanting to do the senior projects, they can do so with help from older siblings or parents and the junior projects of course can be attempted by the senior students. The projects being made are really creative, crafty and we are certain you will enjoy doing them. Younger children will need assistance.

Most of the materials you can find at home but there may be a few you might have to buy now that the shops are open. Phillips bookshop, World of Wonder, Recharge+, Euro2, Dealz, YouPrint and local supermarkets are among some of the shops in Mallow where you can buy art materials. I am delighted to announce that the theme for this year is ‘The Circus’ We hope to create clown hats, clown dickey bows/collars, circus themed weaving wall hangings, paintings, hanging mobiles and papier mache 3D clown face.

It promises to be a fun filled week, so don’t  forget to tune in each morning. If you do, I would be so happy to see your beautiful artwork via email at glynnregina33@gmail.com . When sending me a photo, feel free to wear your hats, bows, collars, and dress up as a clown. Looking forward to seeing the amazing work.
