After a dodgy start - who thought folding paper could be so tricky - we made observational drawings of drinking straws. These were then exploded by drawing imaginary centre folds.
The mad & wonderful drawings are below.
Well done everyone!
[The coin is to hold the folded paper flat for the photo and to give a sense of size.]

Once the drawings were established considerations were made to determine composition and how to proceed.
The lovely results follow. Well done everyone one!

Participants were invited to draw something from the objects provided or to add to prepared drawings. Some did their own thing. The fab results are below.
Very well done everyone - it was lovely to meet you and I learnt a few tricks too!
Expanding cup cake - yum.
