Let's get creative!

Sculpture artist Dianne Renshaw will be hosting a two-session workshop at Cedar International School on these dates from 3:10 - 5:00 (each session)

Students will create Recycled Sculpture (using found/recycled objects) that will be taken to the UK and displayed/sold during the Oxfordshire Art Weeks in May 2011. This show will help to raise money for Haiti Hands on Volunteers and the Haitian Orphanages.  The sculptures will be created under the theme of: 'Flying Creatures' in a show called Everyone's an Artist: Garden of Mystery and Suspense.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
- Recycled or found objects
- Natural drift woods, sea fans, coconuts or shells
- Synthetic materials such as old buttons, bottle tops, cans, bottles, containers
- Anything else you think would make a great flying creature!

IMPORTANT: Students who sign up for this must commit to attend both sessions.
