Teacher Nurture: Sculpting with Rubbish

For specialists and novices alike, these friendly, supportive series’ of three online twilight sessions aim to ignite (or re-ignite!) the flame of inspiration and confidence for you, as a creative person and as a teacher or TA.  

During this series, you will work with Daisi Artist Anna Boland to explore the potential of everyday materials.

sculpture workshops for teachers

Anna will introduce you to methods, processes, and techniques that reveal the potential of everyday objects as a source for making 3d artworks. You’ll consider the possibilities for adapting your new skills to your classroom, curriculum, or project work. The sessions will be hands-on and allow you to try, test, explore and make mistakes – as it’s through mistakes we learn the most!  

The workshops will be fun, open and allow time to discuss and ask questions, and finally, introduce you to a series of artists who make recycled sculpture.  

Each session will:  

  • explore a new technique 

  • build upon the previous week’s technique

  • ask questions and explore how you can embed your new skills into your working day  

  • offer a piece of practical homework, for you – or even better, for your class
