A new sculpture has been installed in Berwick's Coronation Park after a second collaboration with a wood workshop in the outskirts of Newcastle.
The new sculpture, a grasshopper which doubles up as a seat, follows a life-sized wooden seal that was installed in the park back in June. It has been crafted by wood sculptor David Gross and a team of attendees at Tyne Housing's wood workshop in Byker and is made from reclaimed wood.
The workshop, which opened in 1975, aims to provide a hands-on learning environment for residents who live in supported accommodation to work on projects which they can share with their communities. The newest piece is located in a meadow where real grasshoppers can be seen and heard, the two-metre long seat offers a place for people to enjoy the tranquil surroundings of the park.
