A special work of Dudley College Supported Learning Students

Kathleen Kay

At the end of term nearing the close of 1999,I introduced to my four groups of enamelling students an idea for a rather special project to remind us of a rather special year.

Each student was to be involved in the discussion of ideas and decisions relating to the detail, and even the beginners, working to each one's individual level of ability, would contribute to its production.

We were going to commemorate 2,000 years AD, a cycle of 2,000 years' seasons around a central sun. The four seasons we would separate by the Christian symbol of the cross.

If I had been producing this as a personal project, the whole panel would have been a large circle, but I had to consider the practicalities of co-ordinating the work of about thirty-six people and assembling the whole panel when all the small pieces were finished. Squares are much easier to cut and arrange.
