So back when I was a wee nipper, mum used to take us to the local Salvation Army in Croydon, the one near the main flyover, after school and on weekends for a kinda youth club based there. I remember a biggish hall, a tuck shop with all the freshest sweets, snooker / pool tables, arts n craft options, 5-a-side footy, basically a ‘vibe’ for any kid with bags of energy.…
So when I got the offer to deliver creative workshops as part of Westminster Libraries & Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea summer Holiday Programme, running at several libraries across London for young people aged between 7-16yrs, I thought this should be fun…and it bloomin’ was!

There’s something about going back to basics, sharing that feeling & process of when I first customised a tee back in 2005-ish and getting that nice feeling like ‘Rah, I made that shiz’ what else can I do…?…
