The Chandler

The Quiet garden
A project at The Chandler Cof E Junior School where by myself Ruth was asked to come and work with the school coucil on a number of brainstorming and designing workshops to come up with ideas about what they would like to have sculpturally in there new space.
A further workshop went ahead with Anita Smith who is a local garden designer wand we began to work together to design and plan the space . Once the design was agreed , Ruth and Anita planted living willow in the garden and Ruth got THE Flame deliverd into a big whole by Ollie Lintott who delivered the wood by tractor.
£ days of carving then commened with years 6,5 and some from year 4 worked hard to carve and sand the sculptural seats , cubes and flame sculpture.
The garden was landscaped and then planted by pupils and Anita , it looks sensational .
This project really worked because we worked altogether as a team with the staff , pupils, designers, artists , parents etc.
