Advent

In the run up to Christmas I ran a one day session making paper mache Nativity figures with the children of the parish of St Nicholas’s Church in Gosforth. The theme was loosely based on the Mexican Christmas tradition of the Posada and it was great day! I am always surprised by paper mache as it is a lo-tech technique that produces striking results. Here are some pictures of the figures.
