We were delighted to be asked to work with sculptor Michael Condron again! Michael last worked with some of our pupils back in 2016 when he was commissioned to create a sculpture for the new Ashton Interchange, which is now nearing completion. On Friday, pupils from Key Stage 2 created some designs based on 'Journeys' to be included in the final artwork. Twelve children drew their designs before scratching them onto plaster disks. Michael will fire glass onto the plaster disks in his kiln so their designs will be moulded into the coloured glass circles that will form part of the public artwork.
