Primary 5A were delighted to be invited to attend the launch of the Arpillera exhibition 'Voices & Echoes' at the Verbal Arts Centre.
The children took part in a 'Reading Rooms' workshop and learned all about life in Chile. They were taught how the women in Chile used Arpilleras to tell their life stories.
The children then made their own personal Arpillera dolls and these where then mounted. The childrens' work is now part of the exhibition!!
The children had a wonderful day.. They learnt a lot and met some truly inspiring people.
Feel free to visit the verbal Arts centre to view the wonderful Arpillera exhibition which will be on display this month!!
