July 2012 - Summer Holiday Painting Workshops

Now we have lots of busy things out the way like the Jubilee celebrations, the first Saturday market day in Levenshulme and the Olympic Torch we can get concentrating on finishing off our lovely planters! Hopefully the weather will be kind to us so we can going outdoors to paint.

We are organisings lots of arty-workshop days at the different venues over the summer hols. We will be at the various venues for the whole day - so you can stay with us for as long or as little time as you like. We will be painting, so if you are coming down especially it might be best to wear so old clothes, just in case you splash any paint around!

We will be doing the workshops 10.00 - 4.00pm on Mondays and Tuesdays.
So come along to help out! All materials and equipment will be provided, and it's free!
See below for more information of when and where ...

- watch this space for when they are!

Thank you to everyone who has taken part so far. We now have lots of brilliant designs and we've taken all the ideas, thoughts and drawings together to put together for the overall end planters.

We are just now getting all the materials, paints and wood together to make the planters ready for everyone to decorate in the next few weeks.

Watch this space and the noticeboards around Levenshulme to find out when the next "Making and Growing" workshops are!

We also need your help!
We would really like to have some form of written word, poetry, stories - anything about growing, cooking, planting etc. If you have any ideas, please get in touch!
