Our next session is ready to go! DM for details
🐣🐣🐣

Not a school workshop today but teaching my children to repurpose their old PE t-shirts rather than throwing them in the bin (t-shirts, not kids 🤣)!

Fabric markers and a slice of cardboard inside the old t-shirt makes for a half hour activity.

Wish I'd had this little nugget as inspiration for my session on Friday ❤️ so incredibly cute but also totally accurate ❤️

We LOVED hosting our "What is Love?" card session at Smithills School this morning! More photos to follow!

We've been quiet for a while but we're back! And we've got a new activity to offer!

❤️ LOVE CARDS ❤️

This activity is approximately 1-2 hours (ability dependent) and really focuses on fine motor skills whilst participating in a group discussion on "Where is love?"

There is room for extensive differentiation of this activity to cater for EYFS through to KS4.

All of the fabrics used in this activity are donated via Saving Threads CIC and would otherwise end up in landfill

Send us a DM for more information ❤️

Oh, now this is exciting! Limited availability. Please email [email protected] for details ❤️

Today, we've been busy creating our next Trash to Treasure product, taking photos as we go for the step-by-step resource cards, and clear photos of 'one I made earlier' to help our students to visualise the end goal.

Can you tell what it might be?
Hints:
🔎 It uses waste red and black fabric.
🔎 It has clear links to Numeracy, Literacy, Art and History.
🔎 The end product is a symbol used by the Royal British Legion

These sessions are aimed at EYFS, KS1, KS2, and KS3 (differentiated accordingly) and run for a minimum of 3 hours with a large focus on wellbeing and sustainability.

Please message for more information.

We love a good meeting!

Today, we met with Chris from Bright Leaders who helped us to bounce inspirational ideas around, take on his sound advice and get a more concrete plan in action ready for the next academic year.

There will be lots of exciting things happening in the next few weeks to prepare for our school sessions with the Threads Objective project and we can't wait to share them with you!

In July 2022, we launched The Threads Objective project, working with local schools and community groups to educate young people about sustainability, fashion waste and how to repurpose preloved clothing.

At Smithills School in Bolton, we worked with two groups of superb KS3/4 students to create some incredible items out of clothing and material that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.

The students were inspiringly creative, worked diligently and produced some incredible items that the top designers would be proud of. Hopefully these students will go on to change the world, one t-shirt at a time.

If any local school or community groups would like more information about our Threads Objective project then please get in touch.
