Today marked the beginning of our giantmaking project with Leedstown School, as part of #ArtsLab.
We were delighted to have Stephen Polglase with us, who shared his tale “The Last Giants” featuring Giants Wotholga and Tregonna from the nearby Godolphin and Tregonning Hill. Safe to say students in years 4, 5, and 6 enjoyed the tale as much as us.
Following the storytelling, the students had the opportunity to meet the Giant Wotholga up close, having a good look at how he was built, and gaining insights into our giant-making techniques and trade secrets!
After that we got straight to work, thinking about what the Giant Tregona looked like. With a game of Exquisite Corpse, the students brought their giant ideas to life on paper.
We then focused on the all important structure, working in teams and thinking about how to make a giant that is both lightweight and sturdy.
We were so impressed by the creativity, imagination, and inquisitiveness displayed by the students of Leedstown School. Their enthusiasm left us feeling really inspired for our next workshop, where, based on today’s outcomes, we will start bringing Tregona the giant to life.
Arts Lab is a creative wellbeing programme by and for young people in Cornwall, delivered by HeadStart Kernow, FEAST and Arts Well, commissioned by The Cornwall Council Wellbeing and Public Health Service.
What a joy it was to be invited to lead the Carleen Tea Treat procession, joined by a fantastic group of musicians! A special way to celebrate the seasons bounty and welcome the start of the harvest season in Nanny Goat Country — crowned by a glorious serpent dance around Trew Green
A huge thanks to everyone who joined The Rewilderbeest in sipping sustainably, dancing through the streets this Flora Day, and making a stand against single-use plastics! Special thanks to the @lowender.kernow musicians, Owen Davies, Neil Mc Mahon, and Pema Wainwright for helping us spread the plastic-free message loud and proud. OGGY OGGY OGGY… CUP CUP CUP! Read …
The Corn Mother danced through the Oudolf Field, in gratitude for this years bountiful harvest… as the Gurt Wyrm rode the winds of seasons changing… and we sang and danced and danced and sang, thankful for all that the summer gave and united for a moment, to mark the turning of the year. Thank you …
