Knights Templar School, Baldock - Festival Week workshop 2009 Yrs 8 - 11

These paper cuts were from a two hour Festival Week workshop at Knights Templar School, Baldock in 2009 - pupils were mainly Year 8 rising to Year 11's. The pupils were free to cut the paper I supplied in the way they wanted. Many fixed on making faces and densely patterned ones... but the blue boat cut at the bottom was unusual. It takes a lot of nerve and sophistication to make a cut like this especially for a child. Most children want to add more and more detail but this piece is wholly about the very simplest of paper cut away.
