Two day Worshops by artists
Jackie Vickerstaff and Paul Gent

Jackie and I had a large amount of material resources to play with, or rather for the visiting children to play with, thanks to the hosts of South Croxton festival. Besides the usual variety of pens, paints and paper etc, Jackie brought some wire for the older kids to make small sculptures with and I brought along the cardboard houses that formed my part of the 'decieve' exhibition for the children to customise. Unfortunatly my house idea went off to a bad start as they were mistaken for rubbish in their bin bags and thrown away.

The two days however were a success as I was able to make new houses and many children had their own ideas on what they wanted to make so we just supplied the materials and advice. Our tent became a social point for children and parents alike producing a very relaxed atmosphere encouraging children to engage with each other about their ideas. Jackie formed a following of some older girls who made wire sculptures and simply hung out.
