Currently working on/planning for:
- Float design & making for South Tyneside Festival Parade on 1st July 2023 for The Cultural Spring.

It was completed by October 2020 and products such as digital artwork print, cushion cover and bone china mug are available for sale on: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MadeInChinatownLDN?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=898217407. All profits will fund future heritage and community projects in Chinatown.
