Strew the A. W. Wahren statue with textile flowers!

Design with a thought
 
On Thursday 28.8. our guests from Apolda and Bialystok came to see us and Forssa. Straigh from the bus we took them to the Art Häme opening in Community Hall to see a fashion stroll, colourful skirts weared by designers. After the official opening program, we walked to the Spinning Mill area and participated on Morron slippery and Flower workshop.
 
The Spinning Mill are and the A. W. Wahren statue.
 

Our guests in the textile flower workshop.

First they had to choose the textile and the style of flower they prefered to make.

This was not a serious moment, but thought was given in to it.


The workshop instructor Teija.

This flower was made on a wooden stick.

Wheather the flower was given a shape of a rose or a cactus depended on the maker.

The flower were made by cutting wheather proof textile.

Sewed together.

Photographed.

Decorated with buttons and pearls.

And after we finnished...





At 6 pm.

We decorated the A. W. Wahren statue with the flowers we made ...

... and with the flowers the children had made earlier in the week...

It was a moment...

...for the memory of a great man,

the founder of textile industry in Forssa.

The event was open for everyone.

And there was also many local people attending.

The flower were left there...





... as we continued the evening elsewhere.
