WORKSHOPS AND TUITION

 

 

Below are examples of projects that I have undertaken with children from primary and infants schools.
The first is for a window that had to be made for a new classroom block at the 
Whitehorse Manor Primary School.
After an initial meeting with the children to discuss ideas and to show them how a window is made, the children then made a number of drawings between them of subjects relevant to the school. I then turned the drawings into a single design from which I made the window.

 

 

 

 

This panel was made subsequent to a two hour workshop with infant school children.

The children were first given a short talk on glass, the methods of making glass, and how it is used to make stained glass windows. They were then given a piece of tracing paper which had been randomly cut from a sheet the size of one of their classroom windows and asked to make a picture using crepe paper and felt tip pens of something that represented their school.

At the end of the session the pieces of tracing paper were reassembled and stuck in position on their classroom window. I then made a small hanging panel incorporating as many of their pictures as I could and returned to the school with it after a couple of weeks.
