Our banner suspended in Carlisle Library Our personal coats of arms displayed in Carlisle Library We all signed our names to go on the reverse of our banner As from the 24th September, our banner and our work forms part of an exhibition in Carlisle Library, celebrating the end of a year long project involving our school, Studio Arts and Creative Conversations groups from Prism Arts and Upperby Primary School. The exhibition continues until 6th January, 2020 and represents our creative response to our journey in learning about our local textile industry. The project was made possible by funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Jacqui Ridley Artist & Creative Practitioner jacquiridleyart.co.uk 07928444814
Today we worked with clay - some of us for the first time. Jac had rolled out some flat pieces of clay for us and then showed us how to put these together in order to make the base for our ships we shall be displaying in Whitehaven Library. It was rather difficult and not all of us made a ship but Jac had brought little clay stamps and we were able to use these to make patterns and repeat patterns in the clay. There were alphabet stamps too! Once the clay has totally dried, Jac told us that she will put them into a kiln following which we shall be able to paint these. We shall be painting fabric for the sails too.
