Workshop for children with special needs

The workshop is designed for children with limited abilities in communication. The participants invited to this workshop are students from the special secondary school for students with hearing impairments “Professor Dr. Stoyan Belinov.” The main objective of the workshop is to create new opportunities for self-expression through enjoyable creative activities based on intuition and imagination. The children will learn how to use felt to create a picture and be aware of the work process in order to be able to replicate it other situations. The workshop ends with an exhibition of paintings made of felt.

The workshop facilitators are Niki Collier and Tanya Stancheva (TANNE design studio). The designer Niki Collier lives and works in Dublin, loves natural materials, in particular, felt. Her main strength is using natural materials and turning them into items or clothing with organic forms.
