TAKING ROOT!
Pupils at Blackrow Brow Primary School in Huyton were given a unique insight into how artists transform public spaces . Jill Randall and Alan Birch worked with Year 4 pupils, constructing tree sculptures using wire and producing prints on the theme of natural form.
Over the next few weeks these works will be used to design a metal tree, which will be fabricated by a blacksmith and installed in the school grounds.
