Sculpture for Kids

Art projects from my workshops took winning places in the RBG Trust and Sculpture4Kids National School Competition in both 2005 and 2007. Sculpture4Kids is a charity which challenges children to explore the educational and creative possibilites of sculpture. S4K is now the Saatchi Gallery Sculpture at School Prize and part of the Saatchi Gallery Sunday Telegraph competition
