The Arrivall Poppy Carving Workshops
Phil conducted two days of carving workshops with groups of local youngsters, including Tewkesbury Girl Guides and Boy's Brigade during October 30th and 31st. The members of the Tewkesbury Battlefield Society also had a carving session.
Many poppies were carved as well as bees and butterflies.
The maquettes of the first steel version of The Arrivall were designed to have a field of poppies painted on it - the commission later changed to using oak, a much more suitable material for Tewkesbury as it reflects the local oak framed medieval architecture, but we wished to maintain the poppy theme - especially relevant this year of the 100th anniversary of the start of the 1914 war.
