Angry Birds Slingshot!

I have had to keep this under wraps until now but I am really excited to tell you about my collaboration with ARM. A hand crafted Angry Birds Slingshot packed full of electronic wizardry to bring the most played game off the screen and into your hands.

COMMUNITY KITE PROJECT


Really looking forward to getting this out in the public!
Come along, build a kite, and we will go fly them afterwards. www.kiteproject.co.uk

COMMUNITY KITE PROJECT PRESENTS ’10 KITES’ EXHIBITION AND FREE KITE MAKING WORKSHOPS FOR ALL
Community Kite Project is a collaboration between Christopher JarrattJo Peel and Tom Tobia. We believe fun, imagination and the art of making are precious commodities. We would like to share them with as many people as possible.
Running from 1st -7th March, 2012 – Community Kite Project will be holding kite making workshops alongside an exhibition of kites designed and made by Christopher Jarratt and art-worked by some of our favourite UK artists including:


CKP will be hosting a week-long festival of kite making and workshops and evening kite related screenings, including a live stream with Sayamimdu Dasgupta at MIT’s Media Lab on how to build the perfect Indian Fighting Kite! Local community groups, schools, offices, passers-by and families are invited to build a kite each, and the best bit - it's FREE and it’s for everyone! No cost, no catch, just a chance to explore your inner child, get imaginative and make yourself a fully functioning kite to keep. What could be more fun than that?
Opening Night: Thursday, 1st March2012; Space 54, Rivington Street, Shoreditch, London, EC2A 3QN, with the private view opening at 6:30pm. For more details, visit the website at www.kiteproject.co.uk


More info coming soon with some photo's of the kites I'm working on for the show.
