My inner Swine
Species: Animal with the lowest instinct.
Place: In you and me i.e. in every individual of Homo Sapiens
Growth: It grows when people are exposed to violence, degrading and disrespectful treatment
Behaviour: Attacks peoples ethical values, and lets racism, Xenophobia and intolerance take over.
Spread: Can completely take over in the individual person, in social groups and in extreme cases entire peoples.
DO NOT FEED!

The boys are very busy…They work on soapstone which feels very much like any stone but is softer and easy to cut, sand and drill holes into

Sculptures are very good for the more energetic and tactile studentsSome of our students have ADHD, ADD, some have learning difficulties and other suffer from Anxiety or other psychological difficulties.

The students experience sculptures in many forms and shapesSo they use their senses and when we include poetry in the lessons, they suddenly connect these sensations in a new way
