Arts and Crafts
at the All Saints
If you’re looking for holiday arts and crafts activities
to keep your kids amused, try the new Smartees sessions at the
All Saints Centre. Organisers Sue Barham and Mary Cleeve tell
us that the classes are suitable for children from two-and-a-half
through to seven. The emphasis is very much on creative art
– hence the word ‘art’ in the middle of Smartees.
Today’s two sessions are Easter-themed, so by the end
of a highly productive one-hour slot, we predict that your kids
will come away equipped with a bagful of Easter bonnets, flowers,
ducks and bunny masks. It’s not a drop-off session and
parents are actively encouraged to join in the fun. Expect noise,
expect good design tips from professional illustrator Mary,
and a free coffee and the chance to buy a nice bit of cake.
Back outside, take a moment or two to walk around the outside
of the church. This best shows you how the original sixteenth
century tower was developed in the nineteenth century to include
its existing galleried nave and Victorian east end. Also look
out for details like the quirky cat-topped totem pole and outside
wall murals, giving additional style and character to the place.
Finally, don’t leave without a selection of leaflets for
the many other regular events the centre hosts for the wider
Lewes community to enjoy. NW |
