Session 1 & 2 - Getting started

In late Dec 2010 workshop sessions began at REDI's base - 'Y Kids' in Bootle, led by artist Faith Bebbington and supported by the youth workers and museum staff. Each session lasted 2 hours.

We started by looking at what the young women love about contemporary Liverpool. Faith asked them to suggest and collect objects that represented something special or important about Liverpool. Ideas included shopping at L1, football, music, even 'scouse' slang! Some of these objects will become part of the sculpture.

We learnt how to create simple sculptural figures using newspaper, wire and parcel tape.
