Primary age children invited to design glass animal

In collaboration with The Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers and Stourbridge Glass Museum, glass artist Allister Malcolm is inviting primary-aged children in Key Stages 1 and 2 (including home-schooled children) to participate in a free doodle competition.

The idea is to create a doodle of their favourite endangered creature, with the winning design being transformed into a stunning glass artwork by Allister and his team.

There will be a live event where the winner can watch the creation of the winning design in glass on Monday 26 August 2024 at the International Festival of Glass in Stourbridge.

In addition, the winning entry and runner-up artworks will be displayed at the Stourbridge Glass Museum, West Midlands, before the winning piece is given to the child’s school for display.

This opportunity has been made possible through the support of The Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers. It is a fantastic way for students to learn about wildlife conservation while showcasing their artistic talents!
