Project Leader: Big Hoot Sheldon Launch Day!

Thursday 2nd April was the launch day for the Big Hoot in Sheldon.

Alongside Ben from Wild in Art, we introduced the project, its coverage and sparked ideas for the 8-11 children to get their inspiration flowing for the following art workshop session.

It was a lovely day and great to inspire and encourage children's creative sides, I had a variety of lovely designs come through the children and there are already a few that I can see working nicely on a scaled up final design.

I will be returning to St Thomas's Community Church on 27th/28th April for more workshops creating ideas for the giant owl design, then I will spend the last days of April formulating one final idea that represents Sheldon, drawn by the people of Sheldon.

By 1st May, my idea will be submitted and later in May I will have 4x four hour painting sessions with the most willing members of the community who really want to get stuck into, with a final deadline of June 22nd, where I will be completing the rest of the painting at the Custard Factory, alongside my own Owl Aboard design!
