We got this email back from her, about the proposal - and she was more than happy with it, which was brilliant.
Knowing that we were now definitely going to part of the event - we started to look at how we were going to source everything, what we needed to make, and any other bits we needed to sort out.
We knew the worksheets would have to be properly sorted out - and we also needed to buy in materials for the kids to use, as well as put in an order for tools and materials from YPO, which i'd already identified was going to be one of the cheaper places we could buy all the pens and scissors in from.
For materials - We knew of a place over near Pudsey, called Scrap. It's basically Costco, but for recycled materials - you pay a small membership fee and then you can buy any of the recycled material they have on offer there for a really cheap price. Its a perfect place for this kind of workshop! So we organised a Bloop work trip over there to pick some bits up.
The other task to tackle was the weird 'Box' we had proposed for the kids to take photos of their creatures in. Because i'd already done large-scale work during Thought Bubble, I thought it might be a good idea to drop Tom a message - to ask him some advice about how we should approach making the thing. Here's what he said:
As it turned out - Jessie had an old cardboard box that used to hold her old bike in, that was also enormous. Given the fact we were still waiting on concrete placing arrangements, and that anything made out of wood or canvas framing would have required a Van to transport it all, we decided that the cardboard box would be a better option to make it out of. Tom is still a massive help though, he's a super good contact to have!
