FACE BRITAIN -Olympics and Paralympics art project

Face Britain is a national project that invites all young people in the UK to submit a self-portrait. The artwork will be part of a world record attempt and hopefully the biggest online gallery of self-portraits in the world.

I have already worked with 110 children on this! Here are some examples:

If you want to do a self portrait for this, check out the website www.facebritain.org.uk and/or send the portrait to me in a digital format and I'll submit on your behalf!

Animation at Highgate, Sileby

ALL WEEK year 4's at Highgate Primary school, Sileby, have been concluding their exciting POMPEII topic with a series of animations with me and their teacher. The sets alone are worth celebrating but the skill and imagination that have gone into creating miniature stories of these events has been really impressive. Effects like making the scenes fade into darkness using acetates, fire licking the scene using coloured paper and physical shaking of the sets by using clever photography have made these workshops so professional! I can't wait for the showcase event on Friday!




North American Traditional Crafts- Jewellery

A combination of Native American pottery and clothing photographs inspired this jewellery and accessories workshop at Rawlins College last Thursday. Children aged from 7 to 13 enjoyed creating a range of black ink images, bag and hair accessories and feather and cord belts.
