Gallery - Totem Pole for St Nicholas' C of E Primary School

The front of the totem pole - the view at the end of a garden walk
Anwick Forge produced this totem pole in collaboration with the staff and pupils at St Nicholas' C of E Primary School. An art workshop at the school provided the source materials for the motifs on the themes of faith, family, community and learning which were then re-interpreted in metal. We then held a forging workshop at the school with two mobiles forges and two blacksmiths. During the course of the day every single one of the 100 pupils took part and helped forge a ladybirds, snails and grasses.
