Love this project! Bringing together the legacy of @DandelionScot with @CCScotland #ClimateBeacons and our brilliant @we_are_HCC Artist in Residence Sinéad Hargan to create a community art garden for Caithness

Thanks to everyone that came along to our Bower Art Garden community consultation! We now have a better understanding of what the local community want/need from a shared garden space. More news on this soon...

@h_ct_r_maci_nes @JemChanOT 🙋🏼♀️ I was inspired by Quilt Club Seven Sisters and their Big House Quilt, and started a session in Dingwall. Early days there still but would love to make something big together if folk are up for it.

Anyone out there using quilting in community engagement? I'd love to chat!

Hello I want to read/listen to something on conditionality in justice & the arts - by which I mean, eg, implicit expectations built in to prison arts projects that they will be somehow interleaved with rehabilitation and/or reflection on situation… who writes/talks about this?

@Kathryn_Welch_ @MetroUK I played this game in @WHSmith “Smart Thinking” section in Gatwick this weekend. 48 books. 6 written by women.
English
PROGRESS!
Pictured in today's @MetroUK sports pages:
Men: 16
Women: 8
Animals: 1
The first time since I've started counting that there have been more than 2 women (tho 6 of them are in 1 photo). Nonetheless, 3 separate photos of women is (ridiculously) unprecedented. Hooray!

we created banners for Pride events, using making and doing as a way to facilitate conversation - one of the main things that came out was that sex education /information / a forum to talk about healthy relationships was clearly missing from their school offer /

I also worked with @RASASHighland collaborating on their Stand Up project, empowering young folk and providing a platform to stand up against sexual violence. So refreshing to work with such an inclusive and creative group!/

I have met & worked with the most incredible women. The privilege of having time to build relationships, explore together, & learn from each other is something to highlight. Each woman taking time to engage, open minded & willing to go with us on our collective creative journey/
