Introduction to Flock Together
‘Flock Together’ was a collaborative project which explored how the artists Sara Dudman and Debbie Locke might work together to make creative contemporary artwork in response to sheep farming.
The exhibition of work took place at the Thelma Hulbert Gallery in Devon. This resource shares information about the artists, how they worked collaboratively, describes the work they produced and includes suggested activities which you may like to try in the classroom.
We hope this resource provides teachers of all key stages with access to the working practices and resulting artwork of contemporary artists, and shows you how to use their work as inspiration in your classroom.
Understand more about how the work was created here.

Introducing the Artists: Sara Dudman & Debbie Locke
Debbie and Sara have been working together as an artist collaboration for 3 years, whilst also maintaining their own individual practice as artists. The “Flock Together” collaboration relied upon both artists bringing their diverse methods, media and techniques together to explore their shared interests in movements, relationships, behaviours and mapping.
