Just had the most entertaining afternoon in the Stow. Took a class of 8-10 year olds in imaginative thinking at Woodside School - A huge thanks to Lisa and everyone for their participation.
I asked them - imagine anything you like that could be going on behind the hoarding beside the school. Well, the kids just went for it, robots, rainbows, zombies, zoos, flowers, butterflies, eggy man (!) giant worms, lots of love! Great stuff!
Also to the library and the young mums I met, kindly asking me to pop back for a chat next week. And Andy for his help. Then off to the shops - good response and a few stories there, some already a bit dubious that I cant go into, from the carpet shop up to the Pie n Mash, the drycleaners (with the HUGE bulldog), the organic shop over to the funeral directors then up to the Cricket Club, with a wee jaunt to the Market for a chat. If I dont get some juicy gossip from those that I met - well cor blimey, I's off to get some ale down!
This programme of public projects seeks to enhance the character of Wood Street, Walthamstow: restoring heritage buildings, providing new planting, signage, street furniture and shop frontages, and commissioning a number of art projects connecting and animating diverse spaces and communities. The programme is supported by London Borough of Waltham Forest and the Mayor's Outer London Fund, which is helping increase the vibrancy and growth of high street places across London.
