Last weekend, for the first time the public was invited onto The Jellyfish Theatre construction site to take part in creative reuse workshops for the final weekend of the London Festival of Architecture.  Kitted out with hard hats (kindly donated by Balfour Beatty) adults and children alike came along to create their very own masterpieces using recycled and reclaimed timber found onsite.

Under Martin’s supervision participants in the workshops sawed, hammered, stuck and decorated ornaments all inspired by the idea of the sea and the jellyfish.  We had seats, we had deck chairs, we had fish and we had sculptures of all different shapes and sizes all of which will be incorporated into the final design for the theatre in some way.

The workshops were only scheduled to last an hour but most people ended up staying much longer to finish off their work!  The two-day series of workshops was a great success and certainly helped to prove once again that one man’s trash really is another man’s treasure.

Here are some photos of what was created!
