This amazing abstract piece that uses Norman Foster’s Californian Apple building as its reference. Such talent in my Y10 Art, Craft and Design GCSE class.

It was a pleasure to welcome back 10 local network schools to @RHSSuffolk to take part in the @EduRAEng collaborative #STEMFEST. Exciting show from the rocket man Jon London and fab coding workshop with @mindsets_uk @RedfernElec

The PETRAT recycling project is full of opportunity. Rather than shredding waste with a square edge, we are experimenting with putting it straight into the laser cutter and cutting beads for our jewellery project- this black 4mm acrylic gave us lots of 4mm beads.#preciousplastic

So in answer to the question “can you engrave the inside of a mould and get a good level of detail?”, the answer is YES. #endlesskeyringprojects
