The new school term has brought with it new artistic challenges for 31 female Galway Primary School learners, aged between 12 and 14 years old.<\/p>\n
The girls are being taught a host of new skills by members of the Vroue Landbou-Unie\u2019s (VLU) Dinwiddie branch.<\/p>
Women, from the 20-member strong group, visit the school each Monday, between 2pm and 3pm, to pass down their home industry skills.<\/p>\n
The project began last year and saw the VLU members teaching the girls more about sewing, knitting and beadwork.<\/p>
This term the girls will be decorating simple fabric bags with flowers, made from buttons and embroidery.<\/p>\n
VLU member Priscilla Atkins explained how much the VLU members love teaching the children.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really is a lovely experience,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The girls will start work on a new project in the third term.<\/p>\n
