The Dee estuary will be unlocking its rich history of tales and folklore this Autumn.
Pupils from Sealand CP, Queensferry CP and Taliesin Junior School, Shotton, will have the opportunity to work alongside professional textile artist Cefyn Burgess, to design and create material collages representing stories inspired from the tales and folklore of the Dee estuary.
Cefyn Burgess was born and raised in the slate quarry village of Bethesda, North Wales, and is a BA (HONS) graduate of Manchester in woven textiles, and an MA graduate of The Royal College of Art in woven jacquard fabrics
Councillor Nigel Steele-Mortimer, Executive Member for Education at Flintshire County Council said:
“This is a wonderful opportunity for pupils and teachers to work alongside a professional artist in developing their creative skills, and highlights the effectiveness of schools working collaboratively.”
