Sculpture workshops are a great opportunity for groups
to work together to create a permanent or temporary
piece of work. With design and construction guidance,
a group can explore sculptural materials suitable for
indoor or outdoor display.
Past projects include outdoor
sculpture trails, a 10 foot astronaut made entirely from
recycled materials and garden screens and plant climbers made from woven willow.
Willow Withy Weaving
Indoor lanterns, masks and parade models can be created from
hand-woven willow withy and decorated with tissue papers, foils
and hanging adornments. Green willow can be woven to create
beautiful outdoor garden ornaments, and found natural materials
can be incorporated to create sculptures.
Stone Carving
This workshop enables you to produce a carved sculpture or
individual object from stone. Participants learn how to use a
variety of tools and carving methods to create their own design in
stone. The stone used varies in weight, density and colour. This
is a very fun hands-on workshop, enjoyable and suitable for all
ages.
Found Materials Sculpture
This workshop fi ts well into environmental projects, encouraging
participants to work outdoors with natural materials. Using
collected driftwood, twigs, hedgerow and natural objects like
feathers, leaves and cones, sculptures are created for outdoor
spaces.

wearable jewellery. We offer a range of workshops including:
Beaded jewellery using glass, wooden and perspex beads.
Recycled jewellery which uses discarded household and
manufacturing objects. Produce innovative and creative
accessories.
