Steve Pratchett is an artist who has worked in the medium of papier-mâché with teachers, students and children
"The irresistible appeal of papier-mâché lies in a combination of three things - the ease with which it can be made and worked; its immense versatility; and the ready availability of materials." (Bawden 1990)
As a senior lecturer in art and design, I worked with students, teachers and primary children in the medium of papier-mâché
