Yarner

The year 2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the acquisition of Yarner Wood; Reece Ingram and David Brampton-Green, both sculptors, and Simon Williams, photographer, will work with approximately 300 local schoolchildren, including GCSE and sixth form students, over a period of one-week in June 2012 to produce a selection of 3D pieces, photographs and written work. Inspiration for the workshops will come from the species-rich habitat of Yarner’s rare Western oak woodland. Simon Williams will also show some of his images of Yarner, a place he has been photographing for the last four years.
