In order to foster a better understanding of the sculptural bench seat I am creating for Reynards Hill I am running sculpture workshops with local community groups.
The first of these have been with Year 5 pupils at Cranleigh C of E Primary School. I have now worked with all of the year group. The children have been so responsive and a delight to work with. Patient and hardworking.
Using clay and plaster I have helped them to make sculptures in the round. Concepts of layers and contours have fired their imagination and the results have been stunning. The image featured here is one of 42 abstract sculptures we made. Everyone involved has had a great time and the children have really enjoyed doing something so very different.
