Community connect unveils new Tin Camel at Wentworth Woodhouse Grounds

Members of the Wath Community Connect Group teamed up with local artist, Jason Thomson (3rd left), to produce a sculpture for the 'Forest of Bewilderment' area at Wentworth Woodhouse. The sculpture took four months to produce and will be named 'The Creature of Curiosity'. 230497-1

Gary Burton, manager of the Wath-based organisation, described the new structure as a camel that was then evolved by the creators.

Since last summer, the sensory garden at the community centre has gained multiple new tin structures created by the adults that attend, with the help of local artists.

The newest addition – unveiled at Wentworth Woodhouse last Wednesday – was made with the help of Jason Turpin Thompson, of Flux Rotherham, who set out on an eight-week mission in early January, but ended up dedicating four months to the centre.

Adults with learning disabilities who attend the centre made different patterns on sheets of tin to create the animals.

The adults range in age from 23 to 79.
