The artists

At Walsall Studio School they celebrate individuality and nurture creativity particularly in their vocational pathways of digital, health and performance. Joanne, Tania and Paige are their talented trio of sixth form artists who have enjoyed the opportunity to express their own take on what their studio school is about through the Hippo Trail project.

The location
