Schools Outreach

AVAILABLE IN 2024 FOR WAKEFIELD DISTRICT SCHOOLS

Bring an artist into the classroom for a hands-on workshop that explores different ways to create 3D artwork.

Inspired by the work of Barbara Hepworth students will discover key themes in her sculptures, including a mini plaster copy of one of her sculptures.

Through a series of creative drawing exercises they will learn about how natural forms and the landscape informed her sculptures.  Students will then take part in activities designed to investigate materials and the process of 2D-3D. Finally they will explore balance and form to create their own sculptures in the classroom.

All materials and equipment are provided for the workshop.

Cost

x1 2hr workshop £240

x2 2hr workshops on the same day £390

Wakefield district schools receive a special 10% discount!
