Artists Andrea Butler and Sheila Ceccarelli inspire year three pupils to invent their own sculptural sea creatures using simple wrapping and binding techniques with scrap store materials.

By Sheila Ceccarelli and Andrea Butler

Culford School invited us to facilitate a workshop for two classes of Year Three pupils, based on a sea theme. The school wanted the session to act as an ice-breaker to introduce the children to each other and took place in the school hall where all of the forty-five pupils could work together. We planned a drawing activity followed by a making session, to inspire the children to invent their own sculptural sea creatures using simple wrapping and binding techniques.

Megan Boyd

Scottish Fishing Fly Maker

In a cottage in northern Scotland, Megan Boyd twirled bits of feather, fur, silver and gold into elaborate fishing flies — at once miniature works of art and absolutely lethal. Wherever men and women cast their lines for the mighty Atlantic salmon, her name is whispered in mythic reverence, and stories about her surface and swirl like fairy tales. With breathtaking cinematography and expressive, hand painted animation, Kiss the Water adheres to and escapes from traditional documentary form, spinning the facts and fictions of one woman’s life into a stunning film about craft, devotion, love, and its illusions.
Enjoy the preview of Kiss the Water below – the film is sure to inspire.
