2000:   East London Forest Gate Community Festival:  children's community arts project producing four billboards to hang in Station

1999:   East London Mixed Secondary School: millennium mural painting workshops with a group of 17 pupils aged 14.

1999:   East London Secondary School:   mural project for the hoarding surrounding the building site of a cyber-cafe premises in Leytonstone.

1998:   Installation project in East London Primary School with children aged 9-10. The aim of this project was to explore their personal space and use different paint and drawing media. This included the integration of poetry each child wrote about space, then interpreted visually a line taken from their poem. The project is documented through the visual eye of film video/installation.

1998:   Billboard project with a group of 27 children, year 5, at Christchurch Primary School in East London in collaboration with the Spitz Community Arts Officer and the Environment Trust. The aim of this project was to explore ways of creatively producing a group billboard from recycled materials. The majority of the group had not been exposed to making art since nursery. The process of perception and discovery resulted in reproducing their own visual language onto a billboard which was exhibited in Brick Lane.

1993-5:   Painting workshops with groups of 30 pupils, 7-8yr olds at Prior Western Junior School, Barbican & Virginia Primary School, Shoreditch, East London. The aim of these projects was to explore architecture and interpret what they saw using mixed media and collage. The results reflected great use of colour even though the environment surrounding them was grey.
