The Blencathra Centre, Keswick, Cumbria
Made by Threlkeld Primary School. Designed using pupils’ drawings

July 1994 to April 1995

Mosaic made by the local village school in nearby Threlkeld. It covered eighteen square metres in a rainbow shape. The given theme was: the local environment, including a map of the view from the site, which commanded a stunning view of the area. Workshops with the children included: discussion of local issues, research of local history using relatives, poetry writing, and many drawings, some from life, from which I built the design. The mosaic was constructed by the children, who showed a high standard of achievement, and were rewarded by a chat with H.R.H. Prince Charles when he opened the mosaic on his visit to the Blencathra Centre
