Since January, Year 9 has been working on ‘Project Festival’ in textiles!
They have been tasked with researching and designing a product that could be used or worn at a Festival.

Unfortunately due to the lockdown, the most enjoyable part (the practical) was out on hold, but since returning to school, Year 9 have been creating some wonderful tie-dye t-shirts and will be enhancing them further, with their very own screen printed designs next week!
Have a look at some of their fantastic work so far!
