16th & 23rd October: Creative Minds: Zebras, Words and CraftismThis hands on creative, and playful workshop will take you on an imaginative journey using: poetry, art, beading, badge making, hacky sacks and a life-size, free-standing Zebra silhouette. Together the group will explore themes linked to Viv Gordon’s Cutting Out, including: This one’s me; connection, community, hands and paper dolls. As a group we shall create memory anchors to take away and link with the experience of being in the group. There will be a beautiful craftivism project- centred on a life size zebra, that together, we will fill with our words, voices, colour and art. No experience necessary. All equipment provided.
