Wishing Tree

Working with schools and community groups, we told the tale of an ancient magical tree. This tree grants wishes. Participants created designs in string, impressed onto clay and made a wish.
Using several methods and styles of glazing, these leaves combined with hands cast in aluminium were installed with a brass tree trunk onto a wall of a new build housing estate in Lancashire.
