The Chilean Giant Necklace

South Kids visits Coburg Primary School.

Kids from grades one and prep  had great fun with two dynamic  jewellery, designer-makers from Walka Studios, Chile.  The kids at Coburg Primary made a huge necklace together, as part of their international program week.  The necklace was worn by the entire class, each link was looped on by each individual child.  Claudia Betancourt and Ricardo Pulgar talked to the kids about their country of  Chile and showed the kids some of their designs that were inspired by living in Melbourne. The works were part of an exhibition at Craft Victoria in March of 2008. Both artists will be staying  in Melbourne until August and will workshop with  South Kids at ArtPlay in early June.
