Geeky Cool Knits for Kids by Kerry Mackay

Beautiful Manu sculptures made by young artists in Matai and Tawa class; we had Tui, Piwakawaka, and Toroa amongst many other wonderful bird creations. Great work young artists.

Calling all Young Artists...our Term Three Art Classes will be later in the term beginning 2 Sept. Thursdays 4:00-5.30. This term we are making a small sculpture from a key and plastic clay, this character will be the hero of your illustrated book. We will learn about artists who love to draw and illustrate in their own special style, as will YOU! Parents check out more detail and booking form on our website www.theartdept.org

This is a special commission for Erica ' I Love You More than a Million Stars' An artist friend of Erica's painted this picture for her wee boys, so I have knitted it into the Fair Isle for this wee boys vest.

A small vest for Little Luke.

Made especially for Xavier, I hope he likes it.

"Snowflakes, Penguins, Tui, Prancing Horses and Black Sheep" (large) has been made especially for Grayson.

This commissioned knitwear vest (small) is for Billy. I have stitched his name rather than knitted it into the garment so that it can become a hand-me-down with just a little unpicking.

'Dancing Girls and Prancing Horses' Sold to Luca who is nearly 4yrs. This medium size will fit 3-4 year olds.
