I am delighted to announce that my recent application to Community Resource Action Fund has now been approved by the Chief Executive Officer and will receive 75% of the
requested funding.
My application is for creative workshops
to be held in GCS&C, in March 2012 prior to the “de-junk, re-junk” recycled
art and craft exhibition in Birkenhead Park in July 2012, the artists involved will aim to encourage
the public to reuse items not currently recycled in Wirral such as packaging
(plastic meat/fruit trays, vegetable netting bags, old kitchen doors, bike
chains, broken china, reducing the amount of waste generated and going to landfill
and increasing the re-use of materials by up-cycling items through creative
endeavours. This use of recycled materials through the workshops will hopefully
encourage more residents to re-use and re-purpose their own household waste. The
workshops will aim to encourage people to create objects of beauty without
great expense, the classes will be offered for free to the public.
Most adult classes would need to be booked but the classes for children would
be drop in classes, allowing more children to be involved. All classes would be provided for free at point of delivery
(ie no fee would be charged to join the class). The communal mosaic piece will
be on show in the exhibition.
