Pupils from The Key (Pupil Referral unit, Gosport) have been working with internationally acclaimed basket weaver Tim Johnson.

Tim spent two weeks as artist in residence at the school. Inspiration for the project came from a visit to Search, the local hands on Discovery centre, where pupils worked with the costume collection. Tim took their interest in costume and disguise to help the young people create willow structures that can be worn as headgear and to make structures for the outdoor spaces at the school.
