Some of our Year 9 students have enjoyed working with glass artist Helen Grierson at Newcastle University this week.

They designed their art based on a nocturnal animal species that is endangered/threatened, they could choose between a bat, badger or hedgehog. Their artwork will form an exhibition with the aim of educating and inspiring the public to look after our dark skies and nocturnal animals.

Students thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and they’re looking forward to their art being on display in an exhibition in The Sill later this year!
