The visit to the Henry Moore Studios and Gardens was amazing. Children had the opportunity to learn about how Henry Moore experimented with plaster and other materials to create his sculptures. Children looked at some of his sculptures and went inside his maquette studio to see some of his ways and techniques of working as well as what inspired him.
The plaster workshop was very interesting and – needless to mention – fun! Children were introduced to creative processes using plaster. They built plaster up by casting various, natural objects and carved plaster down using different tools such as rolling pins, cheese graters and dental equipment. Children loved being creative, working on different skills and using different tools and objects to create imprints. At the end of the workshop, the pupils were thrilled to take their creations home with them.
The children loved it! The teachers loved it! Enjoy some of the photos.
