Pupils from Scoil Eoin Baiste in Carrigart took part in their very own “Junk Kouture” competition at their school. They used an innovative range of materials to create their stunning designs, including a host of old Tirconaill Tribune newspapers. Four teams of 6th class girls were inspired by local secondary school student, Kerry McNutt, a previous Junk Kouture award winner from Loreto CS, Milford who visited the school and offered advice. Between the Art Curriculum and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) the pupils had six weeks to design and create their masterpieces out of scrap, junk and recycled materials. Ciara Thompson created her outfit using old leggings and an old pair of jeans which she recycled into a top, she then upcycled an old hat using glitter and tissue.
