We would like to say ‘hello and welcome’ to those lovely people who have answered our call for Creative Advisors and Event Management Assistants over the last few weeks.  They will be helping us out at our taster sessions throughout the year, our open workshop programme starting in September and at the local Festivals this summer.  We will introduce them to you properly in the future.

 

We also want to thank the SH Arts Group, whose members have volunteered to help us out at the St Helens Festival this year.

 

We still need more Creative Advisors, take a look at the opportunities news page above.  There are more exciting volunteering roles coming up in the next few months that we are now recruiting for, in particular we are looking for volunteer creative advisors, forum administrators and moderators at our Virtual Create Café, so if you like to social network, happy to chat in on-line chat forums, MySpace, Facebook, wordpress etc, this might be for you.

We are delivering a series of four, two-hour taster sessions at Newton’s Crownway Community Centre throughout August.  The taster sessions will be held in the lovely bright and cheerful cafe area there.  Come along to try out a variety of arts and crafts like acrylic painting, watercolour painting, sketching, poetry, card making, beaded jewellery and many more – you choose which art or craft you would like to have a go at.  No matter which art or craft you try, an experienced tutor and one of volunteer creative advisors will support you.  At each session there will be a demonstration on a specific art or craft that you can have a go at if you wish.  All materials are included, so all you would need to bring is your good self!

 

We will be holding further taster sessions in the St Helens community for the next twelve months.  We are currently in talks with other community centres and a local charity to deliver them.  The Director and Chair at Dragonfly Effect, Tina Culshaw said, ‘…after nine months of planning it’s incredibly exciting to see this project get off the ground at last.  Crownway community centre is a lovely place.  The people there are fantastic and it’s great to have one of our first tasters there.’
