UNIT X - EDUCATOR: DRY RUN THROUGH

So the unit X workshop is taking place on the 12/05/16, for our input into unit x we are delivering a workshop. We have been briefed and been given a lesson plan of the night of how Anna has planned it like, the location we know, as well as we only have that one day to install and DE install and by 5pm everything will be needed to be all done and ready for the VIPs who have a secret viewing before anyone else. The workshop is split into 2 groups. The original plan was to have 1 hr slot per group but all the educator students wanted more than an hour for the workshop so we are all coming together in the same room, all doing our workshops whilst running along each other’s. (It’s going to be busy!) So now we have from 6-9pm.

The next task was to actually come up with a workshop being in our groups.

FINAL IDEA - POP UP POM POM'S

The second image is the idea we all agreed on finally and pitched our workshop to the other group. Our group’s idea was to capturing fun into the night of having Pop up Pom Pom’s. We sourced the idea from the placement we have been visiting on a Tuesday as well as Pom Pom’s being a popular item to have now, especially being on key rings which are sold on the high street, my input into that brain storm was for the pom pom's to made into something I.e a badge or keyring- at first we liked the badge idea but i was just adamant on the key ring as i have always wanted a Pom Pom key ring.. also the pop up would be more beneficial of coming out of there with an actually product to show, We had the idea again of using recycled materials to which we had recycled from another workshop (placement workshop) but instead we thought of using plastic bags instead of other recycled materials to keep this workshop different to the other. What is going to happen in this pop up is having people come and sit down and creating their own Pom Pom which they can take home as a key ring, we will have visual aids presented on the table for them to go off if people are unsure on how to make a Pom Pom as well as member of the group will be involved in sitting down and helping them create their Pom Pom. We are having Pom Pom templates already cut out as well as different coloured yarns and different thickness of yarns on the table as well as scissors. We took in that maybe people would struggle so we do have Pom Pom makers and already made Pom Pom’s, where we have asked each member of our group to make a Pom Pom as I have never made one before. So for the rest of the week we have got a plan together of what is needed to buy and for us to actually produce a Pom Pom so we can feedback to each other on how we learnt to it, then decide on the visual aid which is best to go off.

I feel our groups workshop will be creative and fun as we are bringing back a “old school” craft back, a Do it yourself type of workshop. It’s very contemporary and will be an enjoyable and relaxed vibe for our final workshop.
