On Friday 21 October we will be launching a new initiative at GBC called INSPIRE.
INSPIRE offers a CREATIVE SPACE for adults to SHARE PROJECTS – LEARN SKILLS – EXPLORE IDEAS
Invite friends/ neighbours or come along yourself anytime between 10am and 12 noon. Get stuck into all things creative, while enjoying friendship, chat, and refreshments!
You can:
- Bring a craft, artistic hobby, or project you are already working on, to continue and informally share with others around the table. We can accommodate most mediums – paint, clay, material, paper, wood, glass etc, OR
- Learn some new skills. Each week we will have a demonstration and the opportunity to try a new craft. No experience needed, just have a go, OR
- Explore your creative side freely using different mediums that are provided. There’s no anticipated outcome – enjoy experimenting and see what results!
INSPIRE will run every Friday morning from 21 October to 25 November. £2 per session (although there may be a small additional charge for some projects). All are very welcome – any questions please speak to Stephanie Brown, Dorne Burdett or Carolyn Keats. We would be pleased to hear from anyone with artistic flair who could demonstrate a craft or help on the team. Thank you
