Motorised Mobiles at Quad

Last week, Spiral Artist Jenny facilitated an engaging session inspired by Becky Beasley's exhibition at QUAD - Derby in collaboration with Mandy, Quad's Education Coordinator. Together, they guided young participants in crafting their own motorised mobiles, exploring, drawing, cutting, shape-making, and wire-twisting. The resulting movement and sounds were truly captivating.

Horizons 6th Form - Cardboard Construction

Spiral Artist Jenny led three sessions with the Horizons 6th Form Group at QUAD in May and June, culminating in a showcase in July.

The students drew inspiration from Becky Beasley’s exhibition, A Gentle Man, at QUAD.

Using cardboard, they created den-like structures with openings to look through and created colour patterns to decorate them.
