DIGITAL PROJECTS
The Tinderbox
A solo project, created during National Lockdown 2020.
This new adaptation of "The Tinderbox" reimagines the classic tale for a contemporary audience, using storytelling, original illustrations and over 1000 matches.
StorySmiths for WOW! It's Wednesday
"WOW! It's Wednesday" was a weekly email for children that was launched just seven days after the announcement of lockdown in 2020. It was designed to support families in the first phase of lockdown with creative activities, and was created by a voluntary collective of artists and makers across Brighton & Hove.
Storysmiths was a weekly puppet serial, that asked children to vote on what would happen next in the story. Over the 10 weeks of the project, our puppet travelled through jungles, met wild creatures, went sailing, and found her Grandad!
