Three-dimensional wild animals sculpted by budding Worcester artists have been put on public display after five months of painstaking work.

Colourful jungle heads and birds of paradise hats made by Perryfields Day Centre, Unity House and Stanley Road Primary School are on show at the Guildhall for a week, moving on to feature in a multi-cultural festival.

Marie Oldaker of the Worcester Arts Workshop - which co-ordinated the exhibition - said freelance artist Alison Ogle travelled around to help create the works of art.

"Since January, she has been giving the children and adults ideas on how to make the wild and agricultural animals," she said.

"After this week's exhibition, the masks and puppets will take pride of place in Stanley Road Primary School's multi-cultural festival, Funpac."

Visitors can see the exhibition at the Guildhall until Monday, June 25 and then during the Funpac procession on Friday, June 29.
