The children made bird sculptures using cotton fabrics dipped in 'Paverpol' - an acrylic hardener that makes textiles completely weatherproof.
Jessica led the children through the process of making an armature, filling it out and applying the layers of graded textiles.
This process has been the base of many successful sculpture projects in schools, where children have made small and large birds for display.
A messy, sticky and enjoyable project where the children looked carefully at the different shapes and breeds of birds.
REVIEWS:
“I am always amazed at how creative she can be with recyclable materials.
She helps children to think 'outside the box' in both artistic process and
product.”
