London 2012 blog

Last week I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit a school in Waltham Forest to join in with a model making workshop. It was part of a series of workshops that had been taking place to help spice up the hoardings (boards marking the perimeter of the Olympic Park) that are going up along Hackney Wick.

The workshop was based around making models of the Olympic Stadium and Aquatics Centre in a workshop with 'Signs of Life' - a Tower Hamlets social enterprise organisation.

It was a real contrast to my art lessons when I was at school (only a few years ago!), the facilities were modern, fantastically equipped and at the real cutting edge of technology.
