Year 7 Art Workshop

Year seven students at Abbey Gate College took part in a sculpture workshop run by Cheshire artist, Simon Davies. The pupils worked in teams to develop their paper and card manipulation techniques, and used scissors, craft knives and sewing machines to add detail and puncture individual pieces of card. They made Marquette's and built their own single structure from a plaster base adding cane, withies and paper tissue. The resulting piece is over 2.5 metres high and has been embellished with manipulated paper and card. It was an inspirational day!
