The BBC will be visiting Lichfield School of Art to film segments for its 'Songs of Praise' programme due to be aired on June 3rd, 2007. This will feature Lichfield Cathedral, where blind School of Art student Cliff Vawda displays his range of crib sculptures every Christmas.
Cliff has produced his sculptures over many years, and is a familiar figure at the School of Art.
The BBC will spend two days at the School of Art buildings, filming various elements of the programme, which will also involve local schoolchildren.

Head of Lichfield School of Art Alison Churchill said, "It's fantastic that the BBC will be filming Cliff, who is a talented and very well respected figure around the School, and we also look forward to welcoming local children to take part in this unusual and exciting event."
