Workshops Commence

One of the elements of the DOG Sculpture Installation has been to include workshops for children in 19 primary schools local to the parks where the installation will be completed. The aim of these workshops is to provide an opportunity for the children to construct their own animal sculptures and learn about the process of model making.

Akane Takayama will be going into the schools to provide a structured delivery of model making which works from design to completion. Once the models have been completed they will be exhibited in the schools with a selection of the best then going into local libraries and other locations to provide the children with their own public art installations.

In addition, it is hoped to display some of the childrens work alongside the installation in the parks. We will be keeping you posted about the progress of the workshops as they develop.
