Carcoola students visit Sculptures by the Sea

The Alcoa-sponsored program provides school students with the opportunity to attend hands-on sculpture workshops during which they explore the exhibition, talk first-hand with artists and create their own masterpieces.

Sculpture by the Sea Foundation director David Handley said more than 2500 students and their teachers would participate in the Schools Education Program this year.

Other local schools taking part in workshops include Dwellingup Primary School, Pinjarra Primary School and North Dandalup Primary School.

Alcoa of Australia managing director Michael Parker said the company was proud of its 12-year partnership to enhance education and community access to one of the most popular and exciting art events on the WA calendar.
