Have been busy over the last few weeks (in between the snow storms!) making improvements to the garden… Should soon provide me with lots of material for my botanical castings! In the meantime, I have been researching and developing my ideas… all to be revealed soon…
Through exploring ceramic and making-practice to encourage the participation of young people in green spaces and ecological issues, the project involves delivering a series of practice-based workshops bringing together artists, students, teachers, scientists, green spaces, botanical collections and entomological specimens.
Many thanks to Mr Vickers, Mr Jones and all the participatory teachers and pupils at Hazel Grove High School – the pupil’s have all created imaginative and unique work!

A celebratory evening showcasing the artwork of the Arts Council England funded collaborative residency project. All welcome!
