working together

not all families are arty crafty. we're hoping people will get together to organise sessions where home educating families can get access to materials they may not have at home, and to generate the fun that comes from doing things as a group

if your local group organises such a session to create artworks either as individuals or making one big collaborative piece - let us know so we can post details of it here
