21st June 2024 – Philip led this morning’s workshop. He illustrated 2 different methods of creating a tile; one involved creating a shape that you could interlock with itself creating a continuous pattern; the second was to draw 2 curvy lines on a square tile and label the four corners P, A, R and T. The shapes were then cut out and reconnected matching the letters T, R ,A and P. We decided what the resulting shape looked like using our imagination. It was a really interesting, absorbing and fun morning.
