St Andrew`s school Wootton invited myself ,Barrie Hughes and Sue Riemer to help the school create a piece of artwork to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Church of England schools to present to St Andrew`s church. Three candles celebrating the 200th anniversary of Church of England schools were lit from the new Paschal (Easter) candle at the dawn service at the cathedral on Easter Sunday.
The candles will now start a journey around all church schools accompanied by VIPs and lit
as part of the bicentenary celebrations. Each school will be presented with their own candle
and a commemorative clock.The candle spent the day at the school on 24th November 2011.
We decide to keep the candle theme alight and use a candle as the basis for the piece of work which Barrie and Sue cut out of marine ply to prevent it from rotting should it get damp in the church.

The Childrens`s own designs to be painted on to the candle.

 The relief work all sprayed gold.

The school were really proud of it and presented it at the church Christingle service.It was a good experience working  with the children at the school and great to see it presented to the Church.
