Joel Henriques is a talented artist and a doting dad of twins. He’s fascinated by colour, shape and craftsmanship, and loves creating new craft projects for his kids to enjoy. His popular blog, Made by Joel, documents all his original and clever craft projects. We are delighted to announce Joel will join us as our regular craft contributor and his new column will commence in our next issue.

One of his popular projects is Slotted Building Discs, inspired by a tortilla sculpture! The colourful circles combine to create intricate and complex structures. Joel says it is surprisingly tricky to build with them, but amazingly addictive. Visit Made by Joel to download and print out the free template. We can’t wait to see what Joel comes up with for his first column in the next issue of LMNOP.
