Winter HAF 2022
We have put a slideshow together with some of the young peoples' creations....
Commonwealth Connections: Netherton Anchor Sculptures
60 schools across the West Midlands were twinned with 60 schools in 10 Commonwealth countries, meeting online to begin a collaborative journey of discovery and co-creation.
The Arts element is led by Birmingham Arts School. Wolverhampton based company REAL ARTS WORKSHOPS LTD was commissioned to work with young people in Northfield Road Primary School and Thorns Collegiate Academy.
We worked with the children on many practical aspects of creative arts, linked to the NETHERTON ANCHOR which was made in the area and used on the fateful maiden voyage of the TITANIC.
The young people were encouraged to consider issues of marine pollution and recycling and we hope the final anchor sculpture will have a purpose as a recycling centre in school as well being a piece of fabulous art, designed by the children. Thank you to Onboard Corrugated for the donation of cardboard for this project.

A few photos are shown below and you can see more on the 'current projects' page.
Thorns Collegiate Academy
Here's what the students said:
During the summer term, Thorns Collegiate Academy partnered with Real Arts Workshops Ltd to create a large, cardboard sculpture inspired by the Netherton anchor that was used on the Titanic.
We began by introducing ourselves and thinking about why recycling was important. We then moved on to designing and making models of the anchor, which then turned into the sculpture itself. Over the past couple of weeks, we have worked in teams to work on different components of the design: which has led up to the complete design of the anchor itself.
We have been partnered with Sri Lanka and were inspired by their actions to make it better, safer environment. They are committed to recycling and paving a way for future generations, because of this, us too decided to follow in their footsteps to help the world become a greener planet and more aware about the polluted world we live in."

I enjoyed the experience and was glad I took part, I can’t wait to do this again in the future, a fun experience to do with friends and teachers.
It was amazing. "
Also, the start of our #CommonwealthConnections project sponsored by British Council and administered by Birmingham Arts School. Watch this space for developments in the 2 schools we are working: Northfield Road Primary and Thorns Collegiate Academy. And Easter HAF activity in Wolverhampton.
And...if you are reading this before 15th May - you can get involved in our song project for Mossley Jubilee Day of Culture. We're writing a brand new song on the theme of 'Cultural Togetherness' and have put a call out for lyrics for the verses. Get in touch with your ideas!
