Brick carving

Sculptural and functional forms can be created with unfired brick. Functional seating for the playgrounds or sculptural pieces for a courtyard or front of school can be created with students of all ages. Small projects of way markers, edging for gardens, or wall reliefs can be achieved. Larger wall pieces can also be incorporated into new builds.

Mosaic projects

Workshops will include a drawing aspect so the work is based on the students designs. A simple and easy way to include a large number of children in the activity. These mosaics are made from specialist swimming pool tiles and are cast into slabs so are safe to walk on. Picture is mosaic in progress at Springfield Primary School, Burnley.

Clay murals

Simple techniques are used from rolling out clay to handbuilding, pinching and coiling to produce relief work for the wall. Colour and texture are used by the students which are stained or glazed before firing. This is based on mapping Tor View School by the children who work there using 'objects of recognition' from their timetables.

Drawing workshops

Using the themes already addressed in the classroom drawing workshops can be anything and everything. This image shows Accrington of the future looking at the landscape, climate change, transport, housing etc. Drawing and collage workshop at Peel Park Primary School looking toward Accrington of the future.

Drawing workshops based on nature and landscape

These workshops start with a walk around the environment with sketchbooks and carrier bags collecting natural objects to draw from. Large-scale charcoal drawings are produced to be taken on in student own work of can lead to clay workshops. Drawing workshop St Cecilas' High School, Longridge.

3 D Clay workshops based on natural forms

Using simple hand building clay techniques based on students drawings or directly from natural forms small scale sculptural work can be produced. Picture is Clay workshop, St. Cecilas' High School, Longridge. Four of these pieces will be selected for way markers and will be cast in bronze.
