Upton Place Shoes Sculpture Trail
We started a community project at the end of May. Commissioned by Keepmoat Homes Ltd, we held workshops with students from Quinton House School and people on the Cobblers FC Outreach Programme from Northgate School and the Extra Time Group for the over fifties and also the Coalway Group in the artists studio. The concept entailed making shoes
from wax on a variety of themes; those chosen by the participants were historical shoes; fantasy shoes; and favourite shoes.
The wax shoes made in the workshops will be cast into bronze by Castle Fine Art Foundry to create a subtle trail of small sculptures. These shoes will be permanently sited in May 2017 in the new development in Upton, Northampton. Northampton is well known for its historical and current manufacturing of footwear.
