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!
