“It would be nice if we could do some more arty things”

Creative Practitioners ran a one-day taster art session at Station House Media Unit (SHMU). The taster session introduced a group of young people who regularly attend SHMU to different art techniques such as: DIY Dry Point Etching, Cyanotypes (sun prints) and Ceramics. This provided an opportunity to lightly engage the young people in the work Avenue’s CashBack Connecting Through Creativity Project is working towards, which is aimed at supporting young people to build positive relationships within their personal lives. Through the taster session the young people were engaged and excitable and showed their interest in future, longer-term projects in partnership with Avenue and SHMU.
