I ve worked with the Surrey Docks Farm Young Farmers on several ceramics projects so far.
We ve made signs for their planting space and plant pots for herbs but now it s time to scale it up a notch!
We ve been allocated a small riverside patch to build a living sod sculpture!
First thing was to introduced the YF to the concept and show them the space.
Then we got started on the design process, first in 2D then in 3D.

| Taking 2D to 3D |
This site specific sculpture will be a collaboration between the three groups of Young Farmers.
British Land have generously sponsored the YF project which offers dozens of local children the chance to get really involved and hands on.

| Thinking about working with the surroundings |

| Dealing with surface pattern |

| Making a maquet |
 |
| Working Hard |

This is Jane - who runs the project, this is her brain child, she is a really creative person
which makes her an absolute pleasure to work with! |

 |
| Exploring textures |
 |
| They kids loved the tiles and may chose to use them on the actual piece |
 |
One of the questions our designers have to solve is how will we get the public to notice/interact with the sculpture?
After all this work we don't want people just walking on by! |
 |
| My contribution... a tree/serpent/creature |
Is it a lizard or a seat or both?!
 |
| More next week! : ) |
