About Darrell Darrell Wakelam has been creating artwork with children for almost 35 years. He focusses on making 3D artwork more accessible and exciting for children, and he has a strong reputation as an innovative and highly skilled workshop facilitator. Darrell originally trained in design and illustration, but working with children reignited his own childhood passion for model making, allowing him to revisit the world of ‘junk sculpture’ and papier maché with the eyes of a designer and teacher. Darrell has provided workshops for countless clients, including many hundreds of schools, museums, theatres, and as a part of large-scale festivals and events. His involvement with projects nationwide has given Darrell the experience of working creatively with children of all ages, and from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, and abilities. Most of Darrell’s artwork consists of 3D models, sculptures, and masks, made predominantly from scrap cardboard and other recycled materials. Over the years he has refined his methods and techniques, becoming more aware of the sustainability of his work, and more mindful of the materials he uses. Darrell has also spent many years sharing his expertise, through training sessions, online tutorials, and more recently, through his highly acclaimed book ‘Art Shaped’.
