52 Weeks of Art is an annual artist led public art project in Lichfield and its surrounding area, which has been developed to increase opportunities to produce, view, engage with and experience the visual arts. This will be achieved by developing and exhibiting new artwork, placing artwork in areas where access is limited and by stimulating debate through interaction with the visual arts in its many manifestations.

SCULPTURE WORKSHOPS

by 52 Weeks of Art Email

Peter Walker worked with around 50 students from Netherstowe High School in order to help them to learn more about the processes and stages of developing public art and in order that they might make their own large sculptures. During a 3-day project around 10 large-scale cardboard sculptures were produced. The students learnt about how to make small models and then how to make these into big sculptural works. They were designing these works to help inspire a sculpture to be displayed at their school later this year which Peter is currently working on in his studio.
