Cabinet of Curiosity
Norwich-based artist Chris Jackson was commissioned by Back from the Brink to work with over one hundred 7 to 9-year-old pupils at Bishop’s C of E Primary School in Thetford to create a magical and mysterious Cabinet of Curiosity! Every student produced their own miniature 3D plants and creatures based on the beautiful but rare flora and fauna of Breckland. Using recycled materials and found objects the workshops helped to raise awareness of this unique endangered wildlife and inspire participants to engage with the local environment in a new way.
Event was organised for over one hundred 7 to 9-year-old pupils at Bishop’s C of E Primary School in Thetford.
