The first bunting flag workshop took place on Saturday May 20th with the Killarney Youth. The Killarney sewing club had saved the old children's parachute and taken it apart by section to repurpose it. They donated this brightly coloured nylon fabric for the Art Carnivale to create the bunting flags. With the Youth using a template to cut out the triangles from the parachute fabric, and artist Amanda Lye assisting them to sew them on to the bias tape we created over ten meters for the first row of bunting flags. With the bright colours they look stunning! Also the fact that the community is making these bunting flags as a decoration that can  be reused for other events in the future is eco-friendly and resourceful.  The next Bunting Flag workshop will take place on Saturday June 3rd at Killarney Centre. Rebecca from the EartHand collective has also donated fabrics to create more bunting flags and to assist in making the KILLARNEY banner. She will be joining us in the next

Horns and horns and pan flutes...come and create some music with the fabulous Vancouver based artist and musician group Oncle Hoonki at the Summer Art Carnivale at Killarney. They will share with us the handmade horns that they have created, and as well they will share a performance with us. I wonder what this horn is all about? Check out the  Oncle Hoonki's blog  for more information on their past events and projects. Do they really make these horns? How exquisite. Here they are at Maclean's park as part of the Vancouver Park Board's Fieldhouse Residency. They have been engaging community and performing at events for many years now. We look forward to having them and their wacky horns at the Art Carnivale.
