THANK YOU. open workshop







Thanks to everyone who attended the open workshop it was a great success. Thanks especially to Arif Bhuiyan who took all these amazing black and white photos. 



Coat Stand of Joffrey



Joffrey came to the workshop one friday evening as I was working. After struggling to find work in London he had decided to return to France to attend design school. I encouraged Joffrey to come back before he left London and make some furniture. He returned the following week with the idea of making a coat stand. Amazing.

PHOTO: Cool photo from Jessica at Meanwhile Spaces


I have been very fortunate to have access to the Meanwhile space currently located at 3-5 Whitechapel Road. Meanwhile are an amazing group who create temporary leases on empty buildings and use them in a more positive way. Without this space I could never have undertaken the Pallet Project.  See more at: http://www.meanwhilespace.com/
