creative Fridays at salcare - april

Oh my! It's almost a month since the final 'Creative Fridays' Salcare session in Heanor. Together we made bunting emblazoned with "Salcare craft & chat' sharing how great it would be for the group to continue gathering, connecting and creating with their bunting hanging proudly in the cafe space 😀

The week before the group created fabulous linocut prints, making sketchbooks, cards and even wrapping paper!   

Can't believe how the time flew, I'd like to thank the group for being so welcoming and also thank Make/Shift and Derbyshire Makes for this opportunity.

I'm half way through the Creative Fridays project at Salcare in Heanor, Derbyshire - time flies! Inspired by all things Heanor, memory, making and nature connectedness we've drawn, played with colour, created 3D forms with PVA & lace, tried calligraphy, designed, cut and printed Lino blocks! The April sessions will begin this week with fabric and stitch 😀

Thank you to MAKE/SHIFT and Derbyshire Makes for this opportunity. So looking forward to the Derbyshire Makes Festival 2026 in Heanor on Saturday 2nd May.
