Follow on workshops

We are looking forward to workshops with students from Haywood Engineering College on 24th and 27th January.

During workshops the students will work with  architect John Bishop (PLACES), urban designer Hannah Barter (UVNS) and film animator Karen Sayle (Big Red Studio) to complete their animated film about how they can make their school more sustainable.

Animation from first workshop sessions at Haywood Engineering College

Sustainable Schools Project at Haywood Engineering College

On 29^th November 2010, year 8 pupils from Haywood Engineering College worked with film animation maker Karen Sayle, director of Big Red Studios in Burslem and artist Becky Huxley from The Cultural Sisters. 


During the workshop sessions the students explored and photographed the school buildings and considered ways in which it could be improved and made more sustainable and welcoming. 

Using some basic practical animation skills, with different materials, they then created some animated film scenes.
