Welcome Tree - Arboretum School

We worked with all the year groups at the Arboretum School to create a beautiful 'Welcome' Tree for their main reception area.
We spent 3 days working in the small hall to create a trunk, branches and leaves using a variety of techniques, such as papier mache sculpture and printing with acrylic onto fabric and textured paper.

Here are some of the stages of making the tree.
