Parson Street Primary School - Art Day

March 2015
Today I went to Parson Street School to show two classes, Year 3, how to make a Modelling Clay Armadillo.

The Art day was about colour and Year 3 had recently done a project on Guatamala hence the choice of a great animal from Central America.

Multicoloured Armadillo's

The second group I was less ambitious and kept their bodies to one colour

Everyone has a cardboard carton to take their Armadillo home.

Simple Sculpts for Childrens Workshops

Over the last couple of years I have organised workshops, for children, to show them how to make Character Sculpts. These are the simple examples I made to inspire them.

 Each workshop was themed with the aquarium, monsters etc

Gromit Workshops 

The Watercress Line, Ropley, Hampshire.

I ran 3 workshops per day for 3 days. These are a couple of Gromits made on Friday 22nd February 2013. The groups were mainly children over the age of 5. A few adults were very tempted and joined in! 

Over the 3 days, I think, about 200 Gromits were sculpted.
