Nellie the Elephant, an arresting, exotically patterned vision was certainly not told to pack her trunk on a recent surprise visit to Blackthorns Community Primary School.

Nellie is the creation of Artyfect, the premium brand fine art shop situated in Lindfield High Street. Artyfect Manager Alex Maynard brought Nellie along to accompany the series of free workshops he ran for the children. He was teaching them to use Décopatch, a brand of decoupage, the artistic technique used to decorate Nellie and the latest kids' craze to sweep the South. A great time was reportedly had by all with Nellie even attending the morning assembly.
