St Peters Primary sculpture workshop

After having quite a big feature in the Yorkshire Post magazine I was contacted by a school in Harrogate to run a sculpture workshop for their year 5 classes. They’d already looked at the work of Barbara Hepworth and carved pieces of soap and the second idea was to look at Anthony Gormley’s Angel of the North. As a result of the article they thought it would be good to have the session run by an actual sculptor which is where I came in. After a quick presentation to explain who I was and what I did I showed the pupils how to work with the wire to make their own version of the sculpture. It was a nicely organised workshop with some great kids who came up with some really varied pieces of sculpture.
