Baa Baa 1000 drawing competition results!

Dear All,

We have had over 600 wonderful entries for the competition and would like to thank you all for your contribution.

The panel met at the River Bourne Community Farm on the  16th of May ;

We were delighted to welcome Kristina Stephenson ( children book writer and illustrator),  Sophie Aldous (T- Shirt designer), Anne-Marie Marshall (ceramic animals and animal life drawing) and Laurence Dube-Rushby ( site specific environmental  art) as the judges.

The drawings were absolutely brilliant and full of imagination. It was very hard to select only two winners.

We have looked for the design that would suit best the dynamic and fun of the art project as well as  the one colour printing method that we required.

We would like to congratulate 
Derrie Mc Keowen from Coombe Bisset School, ASh Class for winning the first 
prize for Primary school entries

and Louis Beatty from the Wellington Academy for wining first prize of Secondary school entries.


Both winners will receive a £15 voucher for the Compleat Artist, art material shop in Salisbury.
The prizes will be given on the 1000 Sheep Picnic Launch of the 1st of June, where all entries will be exhibited.
Please find attached the two winning designs ready for our logo.
(please let us know if they can attend the day by calling 07870536303.)

Published on  23 Jul 2013 A Conversation with the Landscape Our relationship with the land, throughout human history, has been governed by two vital needs; finding food and defending ourselves. The response through farming and the military defence has progressively reshaped the British landscape and its ecology. I created an art residency at the River Bourne Community Farm, Salisbury, UK, and was awarded an Arts Council England Grant to develop a large installation made from sheep fleece dyed with madder plants. "A Thousand Sheep" was an open invitation to the public to get involved in making a large piece of contemporary artwork from natural resources. The process was to provide the trigger for conversations and reflection on our impact on the environment and shape of the landscape. Through a commitment to using traditional processes and materials, the piece challenged the limits of sustainable living in a contemporary context. The project has seen over 15000 visitors
