At the moment I am working with Anna Sexton from Open to Arts (follow link to Anna’s website…..) to deliver a series of creative events within the village of Enford, near Pewsey, Wilts.

The village is soon to get a new village hall, and we are working with the community to ensure that everyone gets a say in what happens there.

We are finding ways to reach out and invite local people of all ages and backgrounds to contribute memories of times spent in the old village hall and ideas of what could be offered at the new one.

Hopefully in this way we can facilitate the development of new relationships and an even stronger community, as well as a sustainable future for the new hall as the hub of that community.

Any ideas or feedback, please get in touch - www.creative-ecology.co.uk

A great couple of days working with children from Gomeldon Primary School near Salisbury, using the dragonflies that visit the school pond and the helicopters that fly overhead, as inspiration for woven sculptures in the school grounds.

A couple of images from a short workshop I ran for Wilts Young Carers, using found materials to make printing plates and print from, as a way of encouraging access to the outdoors. (set up by Toozalii ltd).
