CHILDREN in east Cleveland will create living art this week.

The charity Groundwork South Tees is introducing children in the Loftus area to artists creating living willow structures.

During National Tree Week, which is from tomorrow until December 5, staff, children and parents from St Joseph's Roman Catholic Primary School, SureStart East Cleveland and Harry Dack Infants School, all in Loftus, will help willow artists Steve Fuller and Simone Siegan, of Willowpool Designs, create willow domes, tunnels and figures for them to play in and around.
