Collaborative education project 2010 ongoing.

Since September I have been working on a collaborative educational project with artist Marcus Rowlands at Hillside primary school, Nottingham.
I was away to see the products complete, but Marcus has just sent me these photos.
We worked with early years children over several months exploring ideas through play. Our aim was to create a range of interactive products that would be used for outdoor learning, not just as a play ground.
We commissioned local makers to produce the designs.
Here are a few pictures of the products we developed with the children.
The project has been very sucessfull and there is a possibility that similar work will coninue with the school in future.
I really enjoyed working collaboratively with Marcus and it was fantastic to see the designs be professionally made. For more info see

Experimentation of ideas with the children. They turned carpet tiles into a train.
