In October/November 2007 REF exhibited its Tactile Sculptures at Barry Library, in the Vale of Glamorgan as part of the Black History Month celebrations.
This was the third time that these amazing sculptures had been shown. In February 2007 they were displayed at the Senedd, the home of the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff Bay and in December 2006 they were exhibited at The Old Library Cardiff.
Featuring a series of dramatic papier mache sculptures on the theme of “Wales’ Impact on the World and the World’s Influence
on Wales”, the exhibitions were the highpoint of an exciting arts project between 10 primary schools in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan and REF. The children who took part worked with our Arts Project Co-ordinator, Katrina Willis, to create models that expressed their interpretation of this theme and they drew inspiration from technology, science, the arts, tourism and cuisine. The sculptures range from an 8ft tall Samurai Warrior to a model of the Millennium Stadium
