Cenzer house sits amidst a heaving Parel neighbourhood, but manages to hold a quiet cove within. Inside, a group of parents are working with yarn, felt, and crochet-needles. A freshly-made unicorn puppet sits like a trophy among multicoloured crochet cats that gambol over the table. This is the toy room of The Golden Spiral School, a Waldorf institution, which is gearing up to host its annual fair on December 15 and 16. The much-looked-forward to affair is as old as the school: 10 years.
The theme this year is the Medieval Era, which celebrates the Middle Ages from cultures around the world. It will feature the school’s speciality: A puppet-show with handmade marionettes and hand-puppets; As well as medieval-themed workshops and games, all designed by the parents of students. One of the workshops is on the art of making mosaic tiles, and there’s a javelin-throwing game to enjoy. In a delightful topsy-turvy of sorts, it’s the parents who conceptualise, organise and execute the fair for the kids.
