“The children had a lot of fun exploring, discovering and experimenting with found objects and collected everyday household items; discarded and ‘washed-up’ plastics and wood. Hannah showed us fantastic examples of her own work to help inspire and demonstrate possibilities. She challenged and motivated everyone and gave all of the children more confidence in their creative abilities and a better awareness of how they can help to sustain, be responsible and look after their environment. As a teacher, this project gave me great inspiration and useful ideas… What a legacy!” Namasté Bevan, Head Teacher Kilmartin Primary School
