When we attend LEGO fan events around the world, our creations are very popular with the public and other fans, but at BRICK LIVE in Birmingham, our Beauty and the Beast castle caught the attention of the famous You Tube channel, Beyond The Brick. Our LEGO Brick Artist, Kevin Hall, who design and built the massive 2.2 metre high Disney castle, was interviewed by the guys at Beyond The Brick at the BRICK LIVE LEGO Fan event where he talks about the castle as they film it from lots of angles.

Brick Galleria's LEGO Brick Artist, Kevin Hall, attended the huge LEGO fan event, BRICK LIVE in Birmingham to displayed our enormous Disney Beauty and the Beast castle. The event was over 4 days in the NEC convention centre and drew a huge crowd of LEGO fans. It was great seeing all the amazing fans of LEGO and chatting to everyone about the castle. The event had everything from huge brick pits for the kids to build in to a huge fan zone where my castle was right in the middle. Kevin also gave some talks on stage each day going through how Ihe made the transfer from a fan of LEGO to being a professional model builder. There were some other amazing models and a heap of very talented builders,
For a Spooktacular Halloween, we held a few workshops at Reading Museum building Frankenstein Monsters out of LEGO bricks. The kids were entertained by the fun spooky set up in the room and became master builders for the day building the fun model. I challenged some of the older kids to build the model and then re-build it without instructions, which they jumped at the opportunity. Some even created their own models from the bricks. We will be holding other LEGO brick workshops at the Reading Museum next year as well as Christmas LEGO brick workshops at the start of December, 3rd and 10th. To book go to the Reading Museum website or call in and book at reception.
Last year we were invited to design and produce a number of LEGO models for the new official LEGO book, published by Dorling Kindersley; 365 THINGS TO DO WITH LEGO BRICKS. It was great coming up with new ideas, designing and building the models, including a family tree, moving eyes bear, modular pony and unicorn, glasses holder, miniland figures, planets, trophies and many more. Now that the book has been launched, it's been great seeing our work published and loads of people young and old enjoying it.
