These year 6 students, at Brixington Primary Academy Devon, explored light and shadow, as part of their science and art curricula. They saw how using different light sources and colours, varying the distances and materials that create the shadows, can be used to artistic effect, for making their own puppets and performances.

Luke Pattison, their teacher said “They [the workshops] were perfect in allowing children to explore different materials”

It was a joy to be amongst so many happy faces, sharing my passion for shadow puppetry again in this first workshop since the pandemic.
