Chilton Aluminium Chimes
Chilton School had an area of playground that they designated the Science Garden. I was initially asked to do instrument making for it with the pupils. Then I was asked if I could realise the Ball Run that pupils had made sketches for.
Setting up the run
Chilton Ball Run – The peg board has lots of pegs and slats made from wood, foam, and tubing with different surfaces that can be fitted to make the balls roll along.
