Let's make art - Alice Hendy

This book offers families a cherry picked selection of Alice and Karen's tried and tested artprojects with clear instructions on how to make them at home. They reveal their top tips forcreating stunning art work that parents and children will want to keep and display (ratherthan consign to the recycling bin)! All the projects use a household item as the startingpoint, making the activities largely accessible. Within this framework the book is organisedinto sections according to the time scale of the project to help families make the most ofthe time they have available beginning with shorter projects.
A comprehensive but affordable kit list is part of the introduction and includes many itemsfamilies will already own. Along with a basic kit list Alice and Karen spill a few in housesecrets about their go-to materials for maximum impact and a professional finish. Plasticmaterials are kept to a minimum. Let's Make Art champion sustainable, recycled artprojects with their home based starting point for projects.
