We were blown away by the creative skills of people in Colchester, and their commitment to help others learn about being ‘sustainably creative and creatively sustainable’.

 

We ran three workshops:

• A writing workshop with The Conservation Volunteers at Highwoods Country Park.

• A creative mending workshop with the Textile Collective at the Colchester LEAF Eco Centre.

• A performance making/acting workshop with the Wivenhoe Library of Things at the Wivenhoe Community Day.

 

We had some great feedback from the project:

• “A wonderful concept”

• “Very inclusive and welcoming”

• “The facilitator was very supportive”

• "Many thanks for a great workshop yesterday! Some splendid work produced and a wonderful creative vibe permeated the afternoon - thanks to you!”

 

Together, we created this ‘bingo’ card (see left), free to download if you fancy finding out ways of being creative and sustainable while helping your health.
