GRANT FUNDS ‘RECYCLED ART' COMMUNITY PROJECT

Brixham Adult and Community Learning Centre's disabled group, ACE, has just received the good news that they have been awarded a £7,416 grant from the South West Foundation.

This will enable them to offer two community workshops creating TRAIL art using recycled materials in June.

ACE Celebrate their grant news

ACE members will demonstrate their abilities by working with professional artists Vivienne Turner and Petra Turner to lead the workshops. The public are invited to join in with funding for a crèche available to enable young parents to participate.

On Wednesdays Vivienne Turner will be creating a large willow work fish for Teignmouth seafront by making willow panels and then weaving waste plastics into the form. This starts on June 3rd 1-3pm .

 

On Fridays Petra Turner will be creating seagulls made from wire coat hangers and plastic bottles filled with the stuff they scavenge using textile techniques. Set in the flowerbeds they will be eye-catching. It commences June 5th 10-12 noon.

ACE will also be planning summer holiday activities and a new pottery course aimed at people with mental health problems, called No Pressure Pottery. All this has been funded by South West Foundation, Learning Curve and the Learning and Skills Council to enable people to develop employable skills in the arts.
