BELMONT AND WILLIAM HOGARTH SCHOOL GET TO
KNOW EACH OTHER
Children
from Belmont and William Hogarth Schools took
part in a joint ceramics workshop this summer.
The
aims of the day were to foster links between
the two schools and promote a wider awareness
of Chiswick as a local community.
We
were lucky to have two highly talented well-known
artists Mary Fenton and Claire Ireland to lead
the workshop. The day was a great success the
children worked well together and produced
some stunning work.
The
children were asked to design fish, leaves
and flowers to make a garden sculpture. William
Hogarth hosted the day and then came last week
to see the work installed in the new Belmont
garden.
It
was great to see how much the pupils enjoyed
seeing their work installed. The work will
be on display in November at the Kew Bridge
Steam museum.
Thank
you to the parent helpers and staff from both
schools who helped bring this day together.
Special
thanks to Head teachers Ann Williams and Cathy
Driscoll who despite the pressures of an incredibly
busy term, found the time to support the complicated
logistics of this scheme.
Thanks
also to our sponsors Mark Bury of Bellenger
Locke and Kay Wright of Bushells Estate agents.
The
Artists involved in "Artists at the Pavilion"
are planning similar events.
