Some pieces were conceptual – the red strip in Jean’s represents Mutley Plain as a bustling commuter route, with the yellow and purple for Dartmoor, and the blue for Plymouth’s historical richness. Photo credit: Vital Sparks

So impressed with the talents of today’s workshop – what a creative, thoughtful, and all-round lovely group of people! Thank you to those who attended, the organisers at Moor View Community Park, and to Phil Magee for planning and running the workshop alongside. Looking forward to the next –  Saturday 14th. Anyone with a disability welcome (book a place through Jeanne Hinton at jeannehinton@talktalk.net)

Moor View Community Park:

“Our community arts project workshops began today with an explosion of colour. Individuals with a disability came together to discuss what it means to live in Plymouth in some real depth, before getting onto creating some beautiful willow pieces as pictured below. These will feature at our Community Sparks Event on Saturday 21st March- https://www.facebook.com/events/907906422586871/
