On Tuesday we had our first Art Explorers Day in collaboration with Pro-Community CIC. The doors opened at 10am, offering many different activities for individuals to enjoy. These included: Knitting, crochet, and pom-pom making; Junk modelling and painting; Binoculars/Telescopes made from loo rolls and people made from wooden spoons; Colouring and origami; Weaving boards, yarn wrapping animals for the younger ones and people made with loo rolls and yarn, fairy wands and stitching; Collage using mixed media; Pyrography; Selection of nature trails; Community canvas; Lego; Games.

Free knitted teddies for the children. 26 volunteers staffed these tables. The day was an immense success with over fifty individuals taking part. Tea and coffee were available throughout the day for a donation provided by our own tea ladies from The Minster. An Italian vegetable stew with a pesto drizzle and a roll was served for lunch for donations provided by the Bakehouse. Activities were made available until 3pm when the doors were closed. On reflection this was a delightful day had by all. Looking forward to the next event.
