Ossett is my Jason's home town, it is the place where he grew up and the place where his love of art was first ignited, so it was wonderful when the head teacher at Towngate, Naoimh Sampson, approached him to work with them. Jason worked with all nine schools in the EOCT ‘umbrella’ and worked with nearly 1000 children on a project, which saw them working with ipads to create a huge banner about the town, and it’s industrial history.

Students involved in the project researched the industrial heritage of Ossett before creating work based on their findings. This banner was the culmination of the students work as well as the community event and performance which saw their work projected on to Ossett Town Hall.
