Julieann participated in the Rabley Contemporary Drawing Centre summer experimental drawing workshop to try out some new ideas. Whilst there she became transfixed by a family of swallows swooping to drink from puddles and catching flies for their young. This installation made up of drawn, painted and folded paper on steel wires resulted from her sketches. See more at www.rableydrawingcentre.com/about.htm

More than 50 year 3 pupils at Lainesmead Primary School in Swindon worked with Julieann in February 2008 on a 3m x 6m living willow dinosaur which they had designed during workshops before Christmas.

"Children, teachers,parents and governors have all been talking about how positive the experience was. One parent said; " I usually can't get my son to school, but he was up and dressed before anyone else when he knew he was going to be working on the dinosaur. He just loves working with his hands and he was in his element working outside.

Your experience provides something that SATs results can't measure.You help children appreciate nature, see art in a different light and give them an experience where they can't experience failure and learn about how they fit into a team."
