LEGO Lady is back!!!
After a few years off from workshopping (Busy being Mummy), It's been AWESOME to be back with BarrowFull running my workshops again during the summer break.
Over the last few weeks during the playcations we saw over 1500 visitors a day.
Our theme this year was "Words" so I got young people to build their names out of LEGO.
The effort, creativity and imagination from these amazing young minds never fails to amaze me and It's been an absolute blast!
I have just put together a collaboration of just SOME of the amazing LEGO builds we have seen over the last few weeks.
To finish off the week, we received the most AMAZING review.. Something totally unprompted, from a complete stranger.
It brought goosebumps and tears to my eyes... and I am eternally grateful!!! THANKYOU!!!
THIS is the reason why I will keep doing what I do, and will always be THE LEGO LADY
In 2023 Tori took to the streets of Kolkata, India to deliver LEGO animation workshops for Children living in povity and slums.
With the ultimate gratitude to The LEGO Foundation, James J Norwood and David Pallash Tori was able to deliver over 50kg of LEGO to young people from the streets and slums at Future Hope, Kolkata- INDIA.
Before Tori arrived, these young people had never seen LEGO before. They had never put two bricks together and didn’t know what it was. They had never animated or used a tablet.
BY the end of Tori's first day at Future Hope, the young people were already becoming master builders- and by the end of the 3rd day, they were animating the incredible creations, stories and characters they had built.

children can access the video during their hospital stay over the Christmas holidays. It's a workshop activity they can do from their bedside, alone or with family & staff.
