•  Embossed Tin Frames

Explore the Mexican craft of Hojalata this week and make stunning photo frames from tin takeaway trays. Esther will guide you through each step and as usual the equipment list is very simple and easy to source. You can either watch Esther’s film or follow her step by step ‘Tin frame’ how to guide

Grab the materials and take some time to get creative this weekend or over the coming weeks. Trying something new, and taking time to be creative is really good for our wellbeing. Enjoy.

• Digital illustration – a second session run by our Student Voice

We are delighted to have a second digital drawing session run by K, one of our brilliant Student Voice members. Drawing is a wonderful way to unwind and our smart phones allow us to do this digitally and so you don’t even need to find a pencil sharpener!

K has put together this new short film to teach you how to illustrate a word that is special to you. This is a great chance to learn a new skill and take some time out to relax. Enjoy having a go.

• Poetry workshop

Canterbury Christ Church University have put together a lovely lock-down poetry workshop to encourage personal wellbeing. Using two simple forms, the workshop encourages us to reflect upon lock-down, help begin to process it, and to look forward to the future. Watch Tommy’s short film and we hope that it encourages you to get writing. Enjoy.

Please note that all our activities remain on our website for you to enjoy at your leisure over the summer.
