Just a short piece today as it’s Father’s Day; so, unsurprisingly, a children’s craft session was not on the cards for our regular customers. Which, after the glorious chaos of our first ever birthday party held in the Creation Space, was actually a slight relief. We seem to have had a lot on recently, and I am looking forward to the next couple of days off.
So after a spot of work, there was myself, Juliane, our three university students and our student trainee. We started with a discussion on international and home politics. How politicians can say young people aren’t interested amazes me, as these young women had an amazing grasp of a variety of issues. And what a talented bunch they are. It turns out that there is a huge number of languages spoken in the group, some excellent artists and talented musicians. It resulted in a very relaxing but instructive and productive few hours that I believe we all enjoyed.
The Creation Space is intended not only to be the exhibition space & workshop, but also a meeting room, and this afternoon showed to me just how effective and inspiring it has the potential to be. We’ve been open to artists and have had a number come in to work here, but it can also be a place for people to do work, study or just hang out.
I am hoping to get something set up soon, so if you’re interested just get in touch.
