Endon Well Dressing (2008)
As the May Bank Holiday Weather prepares to do its worst, Moorland Nursery School's children have been putting the finishing touches to a special project. Each year our nursery school children join with Endon's Well Dressing tradition. They make a clay based collage for display near the Well.
Our picture measures approximately 12 by 18 inches. Its construction follows the same principles as that surrounding Endon's Well: a clay base is decorated with moss, gravel, bark, flowers and leaves. The two notable differences between the main picture and ours are 1) the size - the main attraction measures more like 12 by 18 feet, not inches! 2) the age of those who have produced it! All of our 3 and 4 year old children have a hand in creating our collage.
"There's a Froggy in the middle"
This year's picture is.... erm... a Frog, of course ('though you may need to squint a bit to get it). See how we made our picture below. To view many of these photographs you will need a username and password.

The finished article has taken a week of frantically paced work to complete. Please be polite and agree the effort was well spent!
