Well dressing
So how is a well dressed?First take a wooden board, perhaps 4 feet wide, and over an inch deep. Some dressings take several boards, of different shapes and sizes. The board(s) are taken to the local river or pond and soaked for several days to ensure that they are really wet. Then they are covered with a layer of soft, wet clay onto which the artist etches the design. Using this as a guild you then fill in the pieces with your chosen medium (flowers, plants, pulses etc).
A less traditional way is to make a recycled , collage representing this with your little ones , using recycled card, scrap paper, pulses and whatever you have lying around and of course don't forget to use eco glitter.
