Two half day (3 hours) workshops for young people aged between 10-16 years. Students will learn to use reclaimed objects
and materials to make sculptures. Julia will begin with basic sculpture construction,
help choose materials then help combine and assemble. She will demonstrate ways
to connect different materials before setting a few simple challenges to begin
making recycled sculptures
By the
end of the session students will have constructed at least one Recycled Sculpture
to take home and will have learnt about artists who have used discarded objects
to make sculptures.
Students will be asked to bring any unwanted/discarded
objects found or given to them for use in the workshop. A wide variety of
materials will also be provided. Please come in suitable workshop clothing.
The course will be taught by Artist Julia
Barton who has made work from galleries, gardens, an American jail, to a bridge
over the River Tyne and on the streets of London.
A selection of projects can be seen at www.julia_barton.co.uk Julia was recently featured
in The Times.

Artist Julia Barton will be
showing stems of her recycled plant sculpture Heavy Plant Crossing which
travelled through the streets of London
May 2012 as part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival.
She will demonstrate how she
selects used materials and assembles them to make fun recycled sculptures.
People will be welcome to browse and select materials to make a small simple relief
sculpture to take away. She hopes young people will want to join her in a
workshop later in the spring.
