Mixed Media

As referred to in earlier posts other artists attend the school to share their craft and inspire students ideas of what art can be beside the obvious drawing and painting. One such artist is Julia Jowett. 

Mrs Simmonds arranged for Julia to attend shortly before I started at the school and her legacy was a project called 'A stitch in time'  Using cross-stitch embroidery to embellish fabric crossed over to Tom and the result were these Olympic Figures created using wire and cross stitch. While not an everyday site we all loved the end result and opened our minds to how old techniques  could be utilised in new ways. While  a bit off message for this report I couldn't help but include this.
