Human Collage

One hundred and four children aged from 4 to 11 in two one hour sessions, and HUMAN COLLAGE was created! It was Friday, a wet, miserable afternoon when I arrived with three dustbin bags full of tinsel, wood shavings, tissue paper, wallpaper, wool, feathers and fabric as well as six 3.5 by 5m display papers (which were taped onto on the floor of the hall). We proceeded to create the most amazing pictures, photographed from above (me standing on a table!) before, when every child and teacher was thoroughly worn out, I swept up and went home!

BBC Radio Leicester!

Just to say that the interview was actually 7.40 if you missed it! All went really well and hopefully I will hear it myself on iplayer later!! Thanks Christian!

BBC Radio Leicester 104.9 fm MONDAY 8.15am

Me and Christian, of Rawlins' Raw TV, are being interviewed on BBC Radio Leicester on Monday morning at about 8.15am. Tune in! We are talking about SpArC Day, the outrageously amazing event we are putting on here at Rawlins one week from today! This specialist arts college celebration sees 50 workshops and four huge performances available for all 1,490 of our students ensuring a day to remember forever!

RAW TV create visual prospectus

Raw TV, Rawlins own television crew, created from talented media students, were commissioned to create a visual prospectus for parents and potential parents of Seagrave Village School children and partner school in China.

I have been lucky enough to have been involved from the beginning and more filming days are planned soon. The Leicester Mercury came to photograph the students and children, so look out for that!
