Trails End Garden Party....

This Sunday to mark the end of the Wanstead Art Trail the Snaresbrook Arts Project is holding a garden party! Offering food, drink an arts and crafts market plus lots of fun and exciting activities for children. All proceeds made on the day go towards the Project, helping to support and train adults with learning difficulties.

The workers at the Project have been busy as bees getting everything ready to host a great party to finish off the trail. Including local artist at the Project, James Bull, who will be hosting his annual art competition. 

So if you know of any young budding artists then send their picture to the Project at:

34 Hollybush hill, Snaresbrook, E11 1PS 

for the chance to have their picture displayed at Wanstead Library and The ARC gallery space in Harlow.

 

Here's hoping the sun shines for us so we don't get rained out!!

Collective exhibition......

I'm very excited to announce we have our first exhibition of the year starting this week at St Johns Arc Gallery in Harlow. It's a collective exhibition along with the staff and workers of Sap Studios, at the Snaresbrook Arts Project. The Project, for those of you that haven't heard us talking about it before, is an arts project which employs adults with learning difficulties who make and sell art and craft items. The staff at the Project are a wide and talented group of people and this exhibition is a chance for them to exhibit their artistic talents along side work from the artists at the studios. It's a wide mix of work from photography, painting, textiles and print so hopefully something for everything.

The Private View is this Thursday night 6-8pm at the gallery where you can meet all the artists, hope to see you there.

Project bags from the family learning at CLaSS.....

Hello, here are the final pictures of the bags that were made at the family learning at CLaSS. A big well done to everyone who took part and the great work that was created. Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed teaching with the children, I had forgotten how fun it can be. Having the parents there with the children made life a lot easier to keep them in tow compared to when I used to teach a class full of children in school! Kirsten keeps on at us to start our own family workshops so watch this space.

Snaresbrook Arts Project......

I've been working for Snaresbrook Arts Project, which is an employment project for adults with learning difficulties. We make various craft items such as jewellery, paintings, bags and cards which we then sell at local community events and local businesses. The Snaresbrook Arts Project have just set up a web site which is under construction at the moment but will be coming really soon.

I've had such a lovely time there and wanted to share some of the bags that we created. We have also been printing onto bags and embellishing them.

If you ever come across us please come and say hello and have a look at the wonderful creations they've made.
