I worked at a Trowbridge Primary School today, in their ’secret garden’ with groups of yr 4 to 6 children. The children used willow and recycled materials to construct a shelter sculpture, aiming to encourage group-work and introduce them to ways of working with new materials and tools.

These kind of constructions can provide the children with a space thats theirs, for role play, or a quiet corner to sit and chat… it ties in well with my own individual work where I seek to provide places or opportunities for contemplation, bringing together ‘natural’ and recycled materials to create a unified form or image.
