REDBRIDGE: Eco-warrior to offer modelling classes at carnival
4:54pm Monday 8th August 2011 in News By Dominic Sutton
AN ECO-WARRIOR who makes models of endangered species is guaranteeing Redbridge residents a whale of a time.
Irene Schleining, of the Whale of a Time Workshop will hand out lessons on the environment at the Redbridge Carnival, while residents get their hands dirty making clay animals.
The award-winning workshop uses creative arts to connect the community with nature and wildlife.
Ms Schleining said: “We provide a fun and hands-on activity where young and old are able to model whales and other endangered species out of clay.”
And she added: “We hope that our being present (at the carnival) will add a new dimension to an already successful event whilst challenging local people to preserve our ecosystem.”
The Carnival will take place on September 10 and 11 in Valentines Park.
