Eden Bridge Gardens

Stanwix School

Louise's Waymarker

I was invited to make a totem pole with the learning support staff and students at Ullswater Community College in Penrith. The totem pole was made in memory of Louise, who's favourite pastimes included fellwalking and nature rambles. The students drew and caved images to those themes.

Thanks Martin
