Neighbourhood Creative Agent Update

January - February 2025

The new year has started well with our first Make, Do and Mend skills-sharing session, held at The Crich Glebe Community Centre on 16th January. 

Four volunteers kindly shared their skills with members of the community, who enjoyed a demonstration of planet friendly cleaning solutions you can mix up at home, journal making using Japanese bookbinding techniques and a taste of Lise’s famous Fire Cider!

Books referred to within the session include:

 

Within our next skills-sharing workshop, on 20th February (7-9pm), Cheryl & Lise will be sharing their visible mending skills, and Emma will show us how to get creative with our wardrobes (especially scarves!). 

What's more, Katie will be sharing basic sewing machine techniques and I will give a short book review on Patrick Grant’s ‘Less’.

Don't miss this exciting event, where you can also discover how to get involved in Transition Crich’s Sustainable Fashion Show, which will be taking place on 9th May at The Glebe.

 

Plans are also coming together for a range of projects which will encourage people in the community to use creativity to look after people, planet and place, including:

  • Three inter-generational creative workshops with Crich Luncheon Club members alongside year 4 & 5’s from Crich Junior School
  • Two ‘walking workshops’ taking in local biodiversity through the lens and sound recorder on your smartphone and the more traditional methods of sketching and bark rubbing
  • ‘Plant a Shoe in Spring’ with Crich and Fritchely Open Gardens
  • Much more!

To join our project group please email clarelimbcreates@outlook.com and I will keep you updated on how you can help our community Make Something Special in Spring.
