On the 24th of September, we went down to the BFI to premiere our finished product. There was a good turnout which included; friends, family, our mentors and other people that were interested in our project.

Here is the finished product, enjoy !!

Today we were down at the BFI again. I will post today’s events in two parts, following this post. The first will be on my planning for my Arts Apprenticeship session where I have to teach the rest of the group something. The second part – Eight.2 will be on my Arts Hero.

Look out for the next two posts !!
