One World Nursery Garden
The 'One World' nursery garden at Westfield Nursery School (Longton, Stoke-on-Trent) is now finished! Commissioned by Creative Partnerships, Philip worked with 50 nursery children, members of staff and the community in creating garden design, seating and mosaics.
Forsbrook Primary School memorial mosaic
Soon to be completed is a memorial mosaic at Forsbrook Primary School (Blythe Bridge, Staffs), commemorating the life of Sandra Barrow, a talented concert pianist and music teacher who died in 2007. The work was commissioned by Head Teacher Bill Durose, and Philip is working together with 60 children and staff members to create this piece celebrating the life of the sadly missed teacher. It should be installed by May 2008.
Sculptural Commission
A large sculptural commission for Groundwork Trust, Stoke-on-Trent and British Waterways is currently underway. This sculptural throne will be sited on the canalside in Stone, Staffordshire. Working with over 200 children, community members and Groundwork, Philip is busy creating individually made tiles celebrating the market and canal town of Stone. The new work is planned to be installed by June 2008.
