Paper mache making for Branscombe Arts Festival
Branscombe Arts Festival
We created an Autumn Seed Sculpture with the children of Branscombe Primary School. This work will feature as part of a new festival of art, craft and music in Branscombe - St Winifred's Church - September 28 to October 2nd. A fun project with children aged 5 to 10 years, exploring the joys of creativity, making conkers and linden berries, making at scale and exhibiting in the community.
This festival is an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the creativity of local artists and crafts people. David Shrigley
It makes me feel relaxed.
I really want to pop the balloon!
This is so fun.
