GROW A GARDEN, GROW A PICTURE, GROW AN IDEA Workshop (Paper-flower making) Thursday 3rd March 11am – 1.30pm

February 28, 2022 By Whale Arts

We are looking for people who have an idea, or something they like making or doing and would like to take that idea forward in some way. If you work for an organisation, maybe you’d like to get involved. We would like to invite you to our drop-in workshop. Feel free to come a long for an hour, or pop in for 5 minutes. We would love to tell you a bit more about the project, and give you some space to feed in ideas to progress an idea together, creatively. We would like to find out a bit more about you, what inspires you, and how we could support you to take your ideas forward. Whale Arts, @NorthEdinburghArts , @SCOREscotland and @Passion4Fusion are working on a new project in #Westerhailes and #Muirhouse called #Create #Community #Wealth. At its most simple, we are looking to encourage the individuals in those communities to create small enterprises to encourage the wealth to stay local. Community Wealth is much more than that, and is about nurturing the talents and potential of people within our #communities, #together, and for the benefit of everyone going forward. Throughout the course of this project, we will be bringing in different #artists to work with individuals and groups, and intend to provide a place for people to #sell or #showcase what they create. We imagine setting up #markets #stalls, #digital selling platforms, #exhibitions and/or #music #events. The #possibilities are up to you all to decide. If you would rather just come a long and make something, hang out and eat #cake, we would love you to come and make a paper flower to help us grow our garden picture. We’d really appreciate it. Tea, coffee, juice and cake provided! If possible, it would be great to know if you are intending to come. Please email either angela@whalearts.co.uk or shirin@whalearts.co.uk
