Crich Creative Agent Update
November 2024
November was a very busy month for Clare Limb, Crich’s Creative Agent. You may have come across her at one of the community events in the Crich Area such as the Share and Repair Café or the queue for Refills on The Road!
Members of Crich Youth Club made a panel out of remnants of fabric and sheets, which they decorated with images and words that meant something to them and their thoughts and feelings about the environment. They also made Tin Can Robots out of recyclable materials with artist Lise Bennett. Children from the Monday morning Toy Library Stay and Play session at The Glebe and the Friday morning Popalong Toddler Group at The Wesley listened to a story called Oak, the Littlest Leaf Girl. The children at the Stay and Play joined in with musical instruments accompanied by musician, Sarah Dale, and the children at Popalong made paintings of oak trees with Clare and Linda.
Clare has been listening to people’s ideas for using creativity to make Crich a greener place to live work and play. So far, the consultation has brought out ideas such as sharing traditional skills around making and mending. Other suggestions include nature walks with art as well as a sustainable clothing event including a fashion show.
The consultation has a few more events to come – Mingle and Mince Pie on 28th November from 8 – 9.15pm for anyone in the community interested in helping make something special in spring; and Crich Luncheon Club on 4th December with children from Crich Junior School, swapping stories about how to make, do and mend. Both events are at The Crich Glebe Community Centre.
And finally – discover our new series of Make, Do and Mend Skill-sharing for Wellbeing sessions, developed in collaboration with Crich Parish Council and Arts Council England via Make/Shift. The event will be launching in the new year, on every third Thursday of the month through until May, at The Crich Glebe Community Centre.
