Yesterday we turned our focus to making a climate summit table based on Judy Chicago’s ‘The Dinner Party’. We’ll be designing dinner party events for makers-thinkers-poets-lovers-doers to encourage design of local action for people and planet soon. Look out for the invites!

We absolutely loved exploring the huge and varied potential for artistic expression in community spaces with PINC students. Looking forward to next step plans ☺️.
Last term, our Bolton students visited @Creatives_Now to explore exhibition prep & creative curation. They shared thoughts on art & different forms, leaving with fresh perspectives. @BoltonLMS .@boltoncarers.@boltoncouncil
