Students Shape up Scrap yard

Beauty. That's not a word that usually jumps to mind when faced with piles of twisted tin, copper, brass, aluminum, steel and iron.

But maybe it should. And maybe it might!

Because under Zubick's initiative,our east London scrapyard has opened its gates to Fanshawe College art students. And the result is a win-win partnership!
