The Wild Wood AJS

This project is still in progress, I will update this page as things progress.

So far........

The children of Alexandra Junior School have been asked to come up with some ideas that we could use in the sculpture. I gave them this brief as a half term project.

Some of the childrens designs/ideas for the sculpture.

The main part of the sculpture will go on this wall, with other parts dotted around the school.

My 1st design for the main part of the sculpture.

Cardboard maquettes.

Halfway through the 2 week workshop at the school the children have cut, filed and hammered lots of pieces of the sculpture!

Below is a video of me explaining to a group of children what they are going to do during the workshop.

(sorry for the bad qualitly of the film, I'm working on fixing it)

I've now started to weld the bits of metal together! (it's going to take a while)
