Thornhill School
Artist Julia Barton has been leading a project with students at Thornhill School in Sunderland. Twenty young people with autism spectrum disorders and accompanying staff visited Highgreen in June to conclude the project. They spent the day exploring Highgreen and taking part in a range of activities including drawing,printmaking, making rubbings, making plaster plaques and creating a suspended bird out of found branches. The day's arts activities were led by Jenny Purrett and Julia Barton and Maureen McCracken led the walks.
