The Friendship Tower by Rachel Scanlon

By Rachel Scanlon

A Project Inspired by the Countries of the World for the Whole School

During May 2014 South Wilford Primary School contracted me to help them plan and deliver a project for arts week, this was based on Countries of the World.

With the onset of the world cup all of the children were interested in discovering more about other nations. The school wanted a three-dimensional sculpture which involved their theme, as well as some training for teachers and whole school involvement.

Transformation Project: Snippets of Inspiration

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.
