Monstrous creations have been seen emerging alongside students from the Academy’s textiles department.
Our Year 7 students have been designing and creating their own monster toys as part of their latest textiles project.
Textiles teacher Abbie Parsons said: “The students have enjoyed making the toys because they get to design something of their own – the toys are unique and different.
“The students have been really enthusiastic about it and I have been very impressed with their monsters.
“It’s lovely to see how creative the students can be.”
Before the students got to work on the toys they had to master a variety of skills first, including learning how to do transfer dye printing, how to make felt and hand stitching.
