Yarn Bombing on our New Sidewalk

8/24/2016

We have a lovely new sidewalk to keep children even safer this year. Next time you walk it, be sure to notice the yarn bombing that the students completed last fall in their handwork projects. This was a school wide collaborative art project organized by Miss Patton.

Without knowing it, I've been getting ready to teach Waldorf-Inspired Handwork and Woodwork my entire life! I hope by seeing my passion for this topic, our students will be inspired to become passionate about something in their lives and practice life-long creating. I love to hear from students and parents. You may email me at balbert@mountainsage.org.

We Love Volunteers!
