The former teacher is now keen to develop the bus into a more general venue for all sorts of arts and crafts, as well as offer visits to schools and other groups. 

Already popular, the bus has been to the Brightlingsea Classic Car Show and the Fresh Air Festival, where Lucy was hired to create clay copies of her logo for festival-goers to paint.
