We delivered a series of workshops to create placards and decorations for the International Women's Day event in Derby Arboretum.
We worked with St Joseph's Brownies, Roma Community Care, Derby Woodcraft Folk, Sahaly Women's Group, and 2 drop in sessions at Derby Arboretum and Derby Women's Centre. We had a busy few weeks and the event was a great success.

Chinese New Year - Year of the Pig

We spent a week working at Erewash Museum in Ilkeston creating artwork for Chinese New Year.
We worked with a number of schools from the local area, Bennerley School, Chaucer School, Stanton Common School and Brackenfield School. We made red strip lanterns and money purses decorated with pig designs.
On the Saturday we had a busy afternoon working with families creating lanterns with cellophane and LED lights for the procession held at Dallimore School in Kirk Hallam. It was a great session with around 100 people attending.
