TERM 3 2026 - Sculpted Stories

This term, students will explore sculpture and illustration, transforming everyday materials into fun, whimsical artworks.

Inspired by Dame Lynley Dodd, they will create expressive characters through illustration, and, influenced by Minu Freitag, turn illustrations into playful paper mâché sculptures. The sculptural creations of Simon Lewis Wards will inspire students to design their own small-scale artworks.

Throughout the term, students will experiment with storytelling, painting, sculpture, and mixed media to bring imaginative ideas to life.

Free Trials:

One free trial per child. Free trials are only for families that haven't attended a Creative Matters holiday workshop, After School class or received a free trial during a previous term.

Free Trial Available

Creative Matters offer a free trial of this activity anyone booking with them for the first time.
