A lifetime in the making, this project was about the stories surrounding the old railway line and the ideas and aspirations for the new park.


Somethimes funny, sometimes sad sometimes poeticI helped a group of secondary school kids explore these stories and ideas using video and digital imaging.

Creative Partnerships Residency, Chesterfield Part 1- Under the Sea!


Under the sea is where I would like to be! 

Working with a class of Y3 children on an underwater fairytale! 

We spent the morning making crabs, seaweed, mermaids, jelly fish and underwater castles to star in their digitally animated fantasy movie.  It was hectic but we finished it in just one day.

They got a DVD of their film.
