ENCHANTED FOREST LEARNING SPACE: MORRISON'S SCHOOL

​

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 felted leaves 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.
