Creative studio for children “Harmony” celebrated its first year of work

More than 50 children are engaged in creativity in the studio “Harmony”, opened at the organization “DROZD-Volkhov” (for children of Russia – education, health and spirituality). During the year, four groups were formed here, in which children master different crafts, create their own products and even illustrate books based on famous fairy tales. The first birthday of the studio was celebrated in the cultural and information center named after A.S. Pushkin.

In Harmony, children sculpt from the clay of the heroes of fairy tales, paint them with acrylic paints, make miniature handbags, cup stands, artificial flowers and books with their own illustrations. Teachers support those who are just beginning to get acquainted with creativity.

During the year, the younger pupils worked on a book based on the fairy tale “Zayushkin’s hut”, and the older ones worked on a project based on a fairy tale about Dr. Aibolit. Each participant received his own copy at the award ceremony.

The holiday brought together pupils, parents, invited masters and other guests. For everyone, open master classes were organized, where you could try yourself in different types of creativity.

My friends and I watched some workshops. I liked working with leather, creating paintings with plaster, but chose mosaic. I chose a heart-shaped mosaic, and now I'm going to put out colorful pieces. It’s great that you can take your work with you! I will make a magnet out of the heart, then, perhaps, I will give it to someone, said Taisiya, a student of DROZD-Volkhov.

Each guest was able to master a new craft and take home a product made with their own hands.

“We welcome any guest. Today, everyone left with their own unique products and smiles. This is the best birthday gift, said the head of the studio Olesya Boytsova.

Ahead of the studio new creative projects: teachers plan to expand the program of classes and open additional areas.

DROZD-Volkhov, which is a social project of PhosAgro, has been working in the city for more than 10 years. In recent years, the organization has opened sports sections in the Volkhov district. Today, more than 1,300 children study in its sections, circles and additional education classes for free - every fourth Volkhov student.
