These 50cm, vibrant poppies are the finished result of a workshop at Hillside Primary and Nursery School, Hucknall.
The brief was to enable representatives from every class in the school a chance to contribute in the making of the mosaic. In advance of the day, I had prepared the design, clearly marking the zones to fill and encouraged the children to use the mosaic technique of Andamento - " the visual flow and direction within a mosaic produced by the placement of rows of tesserae"

This Poppy mosaic project was in honour of the retiring Headteacher and The D.S. represent her initials. There will be six more next term!

At last, the PTA funded project at Bluecoat Acadamy is finished! I'm struggling to remember when we started it but it was well over a year ago. Small groups of pupils from year 7 and 8 helped out at lunch times or after school until eventually the last group got mucky grouting it. Hopefully it will soon be hanging on the wall somewhere in the reception area at the Aspley Lane site.
