Aboriginal Art Masks ~ School ~

Approximately 200 Aboriginal Art masks made by year 8's dried and fired. The masks were taken from drawings in sketchbooks and designed by the year eights and here are their creations. Symbols and textures have been used based on the Art of the Aboriginal People.

Hoveton Hall Gardens ~ Sculpture Trail

I had a camera at the ready for a change and I'm so glad I took some shots of these stunning walled gardens and the sculpture trail full of various works from local artists, from life sized wicker figures to gorgeous enchanting ceramic sculptures dotted around the trees and even in the streams and abstract timber forms at the forefront of a stunning landscape backdrop, here are some of the things I liked the most!

Larger than life these wood/woven figures hung from trees and sprung from the ground.

These tall standing figures stand alone under shady woodland areas, this one is probably the Green Man. Made from stoneware and coated in oxides. 

Wind chimes and bells strung from a sculptered head, the head was amazingly detailed with foxes,hares and birds all blended into the face and coated with a matt turquoise glaze.

This little ceramic face was below the water in a shallow stream.

Dragon sculpture made from steel.

I just liked this as there was a little butterfly sat at the top.

I loved these sea urchin inspired ceramics inside the glasshouse with all the succulents and alpines, really inspiring.
