​​Commissioned by Morrison's Primary School to transform

the existing school library into a unique, magical and enchanted forest learning space to help educate and inspire children to express themselves through art and creative writing. 

This featured a dramatic and colourful Scottish/Celtic

inspired landscape populated with existing and mythological characters presented under a forest canopy, surrounded

by high mountains looking out to the sea.

 

The main feature is a magical tree made from ropes and

feltedleaves which rises to the ceiling and bridges the main

space with the central corridor of the school.

The tree features a round seat and enchants passers by encouraging them to discover further! 

 

The mural was created alongside felt making workshops

involving teachers, pupilsand parents who made drapes

for the room and leaves for the central tree.

The space is now fully utilised not only in it's role as the school library but also as a unique additional classroom for the

P1, 2 and 3 classes for specialised and creative learning.

The images below show the different stages to

the completion of the project.
