Getting stuck in to the painting
The finished piece as a backdrop to the dancing with FY Wingz. Brilliant
Funded by Friends of Muir Housing we will be working with families from the Revoe / Central Drive area on Monday 14th December 6pm – 8pm.
The participants will start an outline of the letters and take the kits home to finish in their own time.
In preparation for the workshop we made up cross stitch packs with Mr Dee’s graffiti designs.
Cross stitch kits designed and prepared ready for the workshop in December.
Then Boz cross stitched a sampler ready to show the participants.

Here is Tina’s amazing cross stitch. Fantastic !!
In 2013 Mr Dee was asked to work with Shabby2Chic as we have a great working partnership with this fantastic company
http://sandrajohnson.vpweb.co.uk/About-Us.html
Mr Dee worked with a young person to develop his art work on to a piece of recycled furniture which sold for £60
The young person who painted this has a real talent for illustration.
We suggested he develop one particular art work for adding to a
t-shirt.
Not only did the young man in pass his award: gaining confidence and self esteem with regards his skills. He was able to see the potential to take his work forward and develop a business selling his art work in the future.
Mr Dee design for Club2Go for a ‘colouring book’ .
