Splash design

Lamorna has begun a design project around the theme of the sea and water. She began by experimenting with creating a 'splash' hat using a polystyrene and card model covered with cling film and a layer of PVA. Hopefully the PVA with harden and we will be able to peel it off the model, shape and decorate it.
