Creating tie-dye t-shirts
Intrecci Soc. Coop Onlus organized a creative project in January 2024 for 15 middle school students from Rho, a metropolitan area of Milan. During this project, the students created their own tie-dye T-shirts using materials from Royal Talens. The project was guided by a tie-dye technique specialist and professional educators.
Creativity to the max
Intrecci Società Cooperativa Sociale Onlus conducted an art-therapy project from April to November 2024 for 24 unaccompanied foreign children living in two educational group homes. The project allowed the children to freely choose from various materials and techniques, such as graphite, pastels, colored markers, acrylic paints, watercolors, and different types of paper, all provided by Royal Talens. Guided by artist and professional art-therapist Chiara Bernardini, the children significantly improved their artistic skills and expressive capabilities.
The Family Hub
The workshops held from October 2023 to June 2024, aimed at children aged six to ten, focused on discovering works of art and natural elements like trees, bark, and seeds. Through art therapy, participants developed creativity, explored various painting techniques, and experimented with different materials. The valuable support from the Royal Talens Foundation and the high-quality materials from Royal talens significantly enhanced the outcomes.
