14.00-16.00 Fungi altered/sculptural book (Discover)

Bring an old paperback book with you to this workshop to create a tree trunk covered in fungi through a series of folding, cutting and paper manipulation techniques. For adults and older teenagers.

The coral pieces are finished. To see them more visit my workshops with Prenton High School

I've been developing the fungi altered book idea further. This could be used for workshops too.

I am so pleased with the work the girls have done, it's fantastic!

It's been a fun week working in the Pyramids on the Time to Travel week

One day left of the Time to Travel free transport workshops at the Pyramids, tomorrow is vehicles of the future!

The girls from the second group are also going back to finish off their final piece pages which they are going to annotate with the processes involved in the making of their work.

The girls have started an artist page based on my work.

This month I have been working on a World map inspired by the cross sections of trees using book pages.

Most pieces are now at the finishing stages. The students just need to make decisions on the finishing touches. We are considering the using a little tea or watercolour on the sculptures that have rust coming through, to enhance it rather than trying to cover it up. Although we are trying to depict the bleaching of coral reefs I don't think this would distract from the subject.
