Design for Life

TASTES OF SUSTAINABILITY

28 children from Coniston Primary School took part in two workshops exploring sustainability and future food production.. Working with artist Mike Chavez-Dawson and Brantwood chef Simon Boden, the children will developed a series of snacks and canapés based on, and inspired by, the exhibition Design for Life.

The canapés were served at the public forum on Saturday 14 May and a selection of the recipes will be included in a recipe book and on the Brantwood restaurant menu.

Quote from Coniston Primary School: 

It was a fabulous project and the children thoroughly enjoyed taking part. It really incorporated such a wide range of skills which is probably why it engaged them all so effectively, and it was a good way to see how art can incorporate so many different aspects. We really appreciate opportunities like this as we are such a long distance from the things on offer in city areas.
