Testimonial

"Thank you so much the children had great fun! The way you had setup the room and wash table areas really helped to keep the room clean especially as over 80 mudmen were made in a day.

Best aspect of the project was seeing the children enjoying playing with the clay, the gasps of joy and the individuality of each mudman made.

 A LITTLE HISTORY:

In 2002 began a creative journey of the mud man, from his conceptual beginnings in Whisby Nature Park Lincoln, to becoming the star of numerous school and community creative projects, birthday parties and has been exhibited nationally in sculpture gardens.  

 

They come in various sizes, the smaller sizes using simple armatures, the larger is built using an armature of woven willow, like wattle and daub building techniques.


Giving the mud man a history impelled the decision to write.  I became author, illustrator and publisher of a Muddy products book ‘bug-a-lugs’. The story begins with the mythological story of the Lincoln imp (from the  Lincoln Cathedral,) it tells of social differences, prejuces and building trust and friendships.

Products developed on this creative journey are 'Muddy Adventure" book
