Work
in the Community
Shawn
Williamson has helped many trainees gain valuable skills in recent
years.
In the former grounds of Trinity Church in Whitehaven (pictured
right) Shawn and young people with Groundwork Trust created the
sacred geometry of the labyrinth that echoed the original at Chartres
cathedral in France.
A flagship community project for Shawn was the Massive Cockermouth
Ram.
HRH The Prince of Wales unveiled the Herdwick Ram sculpture. This
huge work is a major gateway feature for West Cumbria enabled through
community training in stonecrafts, sponsored by Cumbria Vision.
Shawn's contribution to training and helping community groups through
craft training has been widely recognised .
Shawn has found that trainees respond well to working with animal
and natural forms. Community work has taken Shawn Williamson art
and craft training into East Manchester, Barrow, Edinburgh,West
Cumbria and North America,with many partnerships ongoing.
Shawn is a member of the Artworkers'
Guild.
