Project: Happiness…Pendle Primary Academy workshop…..


A few weeks ago now, as part of Project: Happiness, I went into Pendle Primary Academy to deliver a creative workshop. The children visited the beautiful Bolton Museum to be inspired by the amazing Egyptian collections. We created some beautiful designs, which we then made into origami books.

The children worked so hard to create beautiful intricate designs….not to mention the amazing teachers!

Some more window installation in progress….


Still not too much to see!

My studio is so messy, I have to take it out and photograph it in the dinning room to try and get some space around it…..This octagon is 100 cm in diameter.
