Scarecrow Trail 2011

scarecrowVenue: the streets of Compton Martin, Somerset.  Open to All.  Any and all ideas welcome.  See photos for inspiration: go to Compton Martin's own website for a full tour of last year's collection. 

Trail-blazed by the wonderful John and Gill Mayers of Compton Martin, the Scarecrow Trail has become a bi-annual event not to be missed.  Scores of scarecrow sculptures (made by people who've never made sculpture before), line the streets of the village, poking heads out of holes in the ground, (scarecrows that is, not people) peering off roof tops, hanging in the trees, All for the fun of it. And all for free. 

If you would like to take part in this contact Kate at the Newlyn School of Sculpture and join the workshops and the madness.
