Schools Outreach

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.
