Carousel @ West Town Farm from Workshops n' Docs on Vimeo.

Documentation of an away day at West Town Farm (2/8/11) where the various artists working with The Devon Carousel Project came together to share their practice and ideas for work that they will be delivering at children’s centres and community halls around Devon starting from September. The work is predominantly aimed at families with children under the age of 5 and will in some instances be across disciplines.

We hosted an awayday with Exeter CVS. Lots of creative workshops to choose from including charcoal drawing, pencil making, printing, bookmaking, graffiti and clay. These images come from the charcoal and pencil making sessions. The materials were gathered from the Outdoor Creative Space. Willow to make charcoal, elder to make the pencils and the space to provide the inspiration. Lovely!

We’ve won a Small Green Steps award for

‘the efforts you are making to ensure that as an organisation you reduce your carbon footprint.’

We’ll use the £750 to develop the small flat bit of garden outside the newly renovated stable as a outdoor creative workspace with a woodburning kiln and oven and plants to use as dyes etc.
Watch this space!!!
