Student Galleries

I receive hundreds of letters from children and visit many schools and libraries. One of the best parts of a visit is getting to meet students and see their wonderful plasticine artwork. I love the way whole classrooms of artists learn by watching each other and sharing techniques. I know I learn something new every time I step into a school or open a letter.

The work in these galleries has been created by artists ages four to 14. I hope they spark your imagination!

Book Covers from Jakarta

These beautiful book covers were made by kindergarten students in Jakarta, Indonesia. Here is a note from their teacher: “My name is Kailyn. I am a Canadian living in Jakarta and teaching kindergarten at an international school. I read Subway Mouse to my students before our December break and they were completely enamoured and begged me to do plasticine work. I hauled back about 20kg of plasticine from Canada and it has become a passion in the classroom. They’ve created their own stories and also made a tribute to you for our book week door decoration :)” It’s always a pleasure to make new friends around the world.
