Battyeford CE(C) Primary School - Heroes and Villains Workshop

A fabulous project creating Heroes, Villains and the City in which they dwell, with year 4 and 5 children from Battyeford CE(C) Primary School. 

The children were really engaged in this project and produced an enormous amount of work over a short period of time. 

When discussing the project with them it was great to hear their ideas and emerging narratives based around the characters that they were creating. A lot of the time I think that I have a good imagination. It pales into insignificance when talking to and creating with young people!


This was a really great project with a huge amount of creativity. The children enjoyed it and I really enjoyed working with them. 

Check out their work.

Skateboard Deck Graphics Workshop

As part of North Huddersfield Community Arts Week I ran a series of mini workshops today working with young people from Ashbrow School and Birkby Junior School. 

The workshop was based on creating digital graphics that would work well on skateboard decks. Mostly working in pairs, the pupils only had about 20 minutes to create these wonderful images. 

They listened well, worked extremely diligently and had a lot of fun in the process. I was super impressed with the images that they produced. Awesome stuff!
