My first “date” with BT Storytellers was spent in the shadow of the nascent Olympic Stadium and the curly-whirly close by _ what is that by the way?

In a lime green container – great food in the cafe – we spent 4 or 5 hours in the company of Jeremy Houghton who, despite a sleepless night with a young baby had travelled across from his home in Worcestershire to give us newbies a taste of what it might be like to be an artist.

Trust me, an artist I am not having failed my O-level in art humpty hump years ago.

First we did some warm up exercise with our non-dominant hand (the signs for success weren’t good) and then moved on to working with masking paint, pastels or – in my case – collage.

It was a fun day, I learned something new and got a close up view of the Olympic Stadium

But they really do have some work to do before next summer!
