Public, Corporate & Community Art

Project Information
Working with nine Northampton Town schools on the Olympic Art Legacy Project during the summer of 2012, we designed and produced three large pieces of sculpture and six miniature pieces.

The sculptures were inspired by designs created by Year 4 students from Northampton Town Schools. The three large pieces were installed at Greenfields, The Northampton Academy and Billing Brook Special School.

The miniature pieces were commissioned for the Olympic Art Relay and presented as gifts to Thomas Becket, Boothville and Gloucester Nursery.
 
"It was fun. We did spray painting and that was my favourite thing. We did a guess who competition with shadows and then we drew around each other in a position on paper and then we decorated them. It was the best day ever!!"
