We need to get out more! Carn to Cove, The Works, Creative Skills and Feast are all Cornwall wide organisations based at

Krowji in Redruth working in different ways to support & develop creative activity and provide information

for artists and audiences. On the following days we are basing ourselves at the Liskerrett Centre in Liskeard

– you can drop in for a quick chat and to pick up information or you can book a more formal ‘surgery’ with

one of us by phoning or emailing in advance.

If you are a visual artist, designer maker or

craftsperson, Creative Skills can help you to develop

your professional practice.

When was the last time you were able to reflect on

your professional practice and talk through those issues

that are preventing you from moving forward? Our

sessions at the Liskerrett Centre will provide the

opportunity for you to access a one to one Professional

Practice Development session, close to home. There

will be two, hour long sessions available during each

Liskerrett visit, so please book in advance with Jane

Sutherland, by calling 01209 313200 or emailing

jane@creativeskills.org.uk We will also be available to

help with more general questions, and hope to arrange

a session for other members on one of the dates. More

information will be sent direct to those members who

live in North and East Cornwall in due course.

FEAST is a programme to make great art happen across

Cornwall.

It offers developmental advice and funding support to

professional artists wishing to work with communities. We

are interested in commissioning high quality,

innovative projects which genuinely engage

communities and reach out to the widest possible range of

people.

FEAST has a number of funding strands including pots

specifically for small community led art projects and

festivals throughout Cornwall – criteria, application process

etc. on www.feastcornwall.org

We are happy to talk through ideas, tell you whether they

are a fit for FEAST investment and how you could develop

your project proposal so it has a greater chance of success.

Please note FEAST runs a competitive application

process and this mentoring cannot guarantee that your

application will be successful.

mitment and enthusiasm of the local volunteers around

the county.

Spotlight On ….

Liskerrett Working In Wood Project

The Working in Wood project is a project funded by the

Community Grants Programme, providing practical

learning opportunities for adults

producing items made from wood that can be sold local-

ly, bringing in income to sustain the project in the long

term. Their initial range of bird boxes, bird tables, plant-

ers, pot holders and coat hooks have proved very popu-

lar, and all the items made so far have been sold, but

more importantly those taking part are learning valuable

carpentry

techniques, how to use tools correctly and safely and are

producing finished articles of which they can be proud.

We interviewed members of our Working in Wood

Project, Richard, Ian, Chris and John and asked how they

are getting on.

What skills do you practise?

We practise sawing, drilling, and using the jigsaw. We

work a lot on measuring and getting the

angles right.

Are you thinking of taking your products to fairs or having a

stall at local events or are you making them to order for peo-

ple you know?

We sell our products to people from Morley

Tamlyn and the Liskerrett Centre and lots of

others. Ever since we displayed our bird tables and love-

ly flower boxes at Liskerrett’s Garden open day we have

had a constant stream of orders so you could say we

make to order. We would like to have a stall, we sold

quite a few Coat hooks and plaques at the Liskerrett

Garden Open Day. If we had enough to sell more we

would. At the moment we are trying to get a few things

together as we have lots of interest.

What have you made this month?

We made ten bird tables and planters, plus all the coat

hooks and plaques. In the winter we are

hoping to make wooden toys for children.

Where can you be contacted ? We are at the

Liskerrett Centre on Tuesdays and Wednesdays,

Telephone 01579 340307

Are you enjoying being part of this project? Yes

Is it Interesting? Yes it is interesting, learning all about the

latest tools, and we’ve got goggles and masks we have to

get used to.

If you would like to place an order, contact the project

leader Barry Hobbs on 07758288407
