I spent two days in Mortimer Junior school and supported every child in the school to create their own unique felt square, inspired by the Coronation. I then created a three panel wall hanging to commemorate the Coronation for the school to display. 

​

Here are the finished wall hangings. Each panel contains the children's work using mixed media. I stitched together all the squares adding embellishments.

The aim of the project was to create a collaborative mural to cover the side of the container which doubled as a sports equipment storage unit.

I was invited to spend time with a group of children who represented each class across the school. Each child created a page full of amazing designs inspired by their school and learning experiences at school in media of their choice. I worked with the City Arts artist, Isabel Carmona, to combine the elements of the children's designs creating the final composition. The children across the whole school were invited to come to a mural painting day. 

I designed and delivered all elements of the Mighty Machines printmaking project with Castle School, exploring the themes of identity and social inclusion. I spent five sessions with the students teaching different printmaking techniques. We went on a trip to a local musuem to look at vehicles and explore mechanisms. The project culminated in a dedicatd exhibition, hosted by City Arts (a local community arts centre). The public exhibition of the children's work attrached local media attention and we were lucky enough to have a visit from the mayor! 

I loved working with the children on this project. It was fantastic to be at the private view, seeing the children spot their own work, framed on up on the wall for all to see.
