Up cycling Workshop:
On the 18th of December our TY class went to An Gairdin, Portumna for an up cycling workshop with Gerry and Laura.
Firstly we were given our plank of wood which we would be up cycling throughout the day.
We learned different techniques to help up cycle and age our planks of wood, by sanding, waxing and using different techniques when painting the boards.
It was very enjoyable as there was a very relaxed environment.
Reflection:
I really enjoyed the up cycling workshop, not only was it very relaxing but I learned loads of new valuable skills that I could us in my own life when up cycling a piece of furniture.
I also think it helped the class bring out our artistic streak.
