Sculpture Workshop

Group Three experienced a Sculpture Workshop in June run by local artist, Ethna Mathews. Ethna brought in one or two of her own pieces including soil gathered from the seven continents displayed in wooden troughs made from locally found trees.

Her soil sample from the Antarctic was collected from outside Scottís hut and was displayed in a trough made from Bog Oak. After this introduction Group Three took a walk to the Hangers and created their own sculptures from handfuls of local clay, twigs, stones and leaves.

Ethna encouraged the children to use cuneiform letters made with these materials or carved into the soil.
