Startled
Number 24 for 116 Pictures in 2016: Statue.
This is one of several softwood carvings made by 12-16 year old pupils under my supervision when I was still teaching. We were instructed by a professional woodcarver called Jonathan Clunies-Ross from Wales.
Each one was made by a team led by an older pupil with a younger one and one with special needs, with a parent watching in case of chisel injury.
This probably would not be allowed now, with the compensation culture spread from the US and over protective parenting far too common.
However, no one was hurt and everyone really enjoyed themselves.
The shields and some helmets were made by a team supervised by my colleague in metalwork, from copper hot water cylinders from the scrapyard.
