Sarah Mangan came to help the pupils screen print their pieces.

The pupils worked on two sides of thin organdi fabric - using warm colours on one side and cold colours on the other.

The finished pieces would be made into a wind sculpture with man-made and natural images sewn back to back and reinforced around the outside with fibre glass rods.

Each section would be supended between two swivels so, as the fabric panels are turned by the wind, they are UNIFIED.

The pupils wrote their unity poems on strips of cloth to blow in the wind like wishes and prayer flags.

The pupils' completed screen prints were then given to Shelagh to start making the wind sculpture. First of all they were cut into panel shapes. See the examples below and roll your mouse over the pictures to see more.

Once finished the wind sculpture was permanently assembled in the upstairs hall. See more pictures about this in the additional information page.
