Sensational Sculpturing!

Sensational Sculpturing!

 

We were really excited to be chosen to work with artist Michael Condron as part of our Arts Award journey.  Michael is a sculptor who has been commissioned to make a sculpture for the new Bus Station in Ashton-under-Lyne, based on the heritage of Tameside.  Some of us interviewed grandparents and neighbours to hear their memories of Tameside from the past.  Others brought in historical items and photographs which we used to draw our designs.  We traced our images then mixed and rolled the ink to create mono prints.  We also made cardboard tubes to represent tracks between stations.   Finally, Michael sculptured our work into a display which is made in the style of a public transport map. We think it looks amazing!
