‘The school mosaic was fun to make. I think how the school put it together with Wendy is great. In the future when I come to see it I could say ‘I did that!’’ Year 6 pupil.
In April I finished 13 panels working with the children and staff of Kings Farm Primary School, Gravesend as a result of a large mural project. In March the Bishop of Rochester came to see the work and give prizes to the pupils whose winning designs he chose. He also enjoyed taking part by putting some pieces in the mosaic of Rochester Castle!
