As a group we thought it was important that we stick to the idea of making something beautiful out of rubbish, so we set out trying to find (and steal!) used pieces of wood large enough to make the main squares from.
Having already played with joints for the design competition using palette wood and we found it to of a relatively good quality and so it was decided that we needed to find more palettes as our design would require an awful lot of wood.
We used family connections to gain some very large palettes, which had to be cut down outside to even fit them inside the arts tower, as well as finding a few that had been thrown away.
