Students worked with artist Tom Cockerman to explore issues around hunting and endangered animals. As a result of their work with Tom, the students produced a fantastic 3D printed chess set.
They explored chess sets found in the gallery’s art store, visited MMU’s Art School, visited Print City and had a talk with Steve Dixon(ceramicist and chess set maker. Each pupil designed one or more pieces for the opposing sets of black and white pieces; poachers, and endangered or hunted animals.
