What a fabulous community workshop Valley Arts ran yesterday with our Artist in residence Amy Hutchings! It was a free Tote Bag Printing workshop at East Harptree Pavillion, open to all ages from 6+. Celebrating the solstice and connection between nature and community, the workshop explored a mixed arts approach using print making, stencils, textiles and creative leaf foraging.

We had a sold out workshop with 20 participants, and a mixture of all ages, which was fabulous to see. Amy showed everyone how to print and stencil designs onto tote bags using a variety of foraged leaves, fabric paint, brushes, sponges and stencils. Each participant left with their own beautifully decorated and unique tote bag celebrating the upcoming Hidden Voices community play.

Thank you to Valley Arts for inviting the Arts Hub to take part in this fantastic project and for funding the workshop and to our talented artist and facilitator Amy Hutchings (follow at @amyhutchingsprints )

Spray paint Stencilling workshop 😎🔥💥

Chuffed to announce the first workshop run by new artist in residence Amy Hutchings. Amy partnered with Grassroutes to run a graffiti workshop with some participants from Learning Partnership West. The workshop was funded by Project Newton, with St Laurence Church.

Due to the practice of spraying paint, the workshop took place outside at East Harptree Pavillion - luckily the sun was shining! Amy taught the students how to spray a blend and how to cut a stencil with spray paint. It was inspiring to see how naturally talented the students were, and under Amy's expert guidance some amazing artworks were created! The students also seemed really happy with their work.

"I enjoyed it and it was good, yeah"

"You get to express your creativity spray painting"

A big shout out to the Arts Hub's two brilliant artists pictured here who put on really creative and engaging art workshops all morning - families got stuck into leaf printing with Amy and creating googley-eyed animals in the Combe with Emma.

Thank you to everyone who attended our brunch on Sunday and made it such a special day, we had a fantastic turnout and there was such a buzz in the village hall! ✨⚡🎨🖌️

And of course thank you to all those who volunteered on the day and donated their time (and delicious cakes!) to make the day run smoothly.

The Arts Hub have been working on a very exciting collaboration with Harptree Surgery! Our artist in residence @louisnealeart ran art sessions in October with clients from Harptree Surgery, with the aim of improving wellbeing and social interaction. The sessions, which involved going for a walk to gather natural resources to create something with clay, have received some brilliant feedback. Thank you to Louis Neale and Lisa Smith, Social Prescriber for Harptree Surgery for making this happen and looking forward to future collaborations!

The Hunky Punk exhibition is up at St Laurence Church, East Harptree, until tomorrow at 5pm! 👹 Drop by and see what 9 children from East Harptree Primary school have been making with our artist in residence @louisnealeart and local sculptor @patrickbarkersculptor during the second Hunky Punk heritage project collaboration with Project Newton and the Heritage fund.

St Laurence church has an array of original decorative hunky punks on the church towers, and the children were tasked to recreate their own version using clay. Thank you to Louis Neale and Patrick Barker and of course the children of East Harptree primary school for getting involved with this project! The sculptures are incredibly detailed and creative and all very unique 😍✨

The exhibition highlights the hidden rarities of historic Somerset culture and the lost crafts that people and communities once dedicated themselves to.

Arts Hub artist in residence @kerigreenillustrator held a fantastic illustrated card workshop last Saturday in East Harptree Pavillion, as part of the East Harptree Flower and Craft Show workshops.

We had a great turn out for the workshop, especially popular with families and everyone got stuck in creating their own illustrated card - or multiple cards! - with Keri's guidance.

Looking forward to seeing some of the greeting cards entered into the East Harptree Flower and Crafts show!

The Hunky Punks Exhibition was brilliant! Thank you to all those who visited and commented on the show.

In collaboration with Project Newton, East Harptree Primary School and the Arts Hub East Harptree, we showcased the works of 10 children in St Laurence Church on 8-9 June. The Hunky Punks created by the school children looked truly magical in the church setting near to their original 15th Century decorative Hunky Punks on the outer church towers.

Thank you to the children who took part in the Hunky Punk project - Ivy, Berry, Eleanor, Dottie N, Eva, Tom, Maisy, Dottie J, Ava, Eleanor J - and to @louisnealeart and @patrickbarkersculptor for running the project! We hope to offer a repeat of the hunky punk sessions to another class at East Harptree Primary School this autumn

Feedback from Squirrel Class at East Harptree Primary School:

“I enjoyed every single last thing”

“I really enjoyed everything, especially the painting. The lion hunky punk at the church inspired me.”

“I liked making the hunky punks and going down to see the ones at church which I have not really noticed before”

“I learnt you can make anything with clay!”

Super excited to announce the Hunky Punk Heritage Project, a collaboration between the Arts Hub, East Harptree Primary School and the Newton Project with St Laurence Church, East Harptree.

🧑🏻‍🎨 Arts Hub artist @louisnealeart and local artist and villager @patrickbarkersculptor ran a series of after school classes with children from East Harptree Primary school.

👹The project entailed a rediscovery of culture and imagination as the group of children from the school participated in designing and creating their very own Hunky Punk sculpture out of clay. We were really impressed with the fantastically creative Hunky Punk creations!

⛪ We are inviting you to our community exhibition on 8th and 9th June at St Laurence church where the Hunky Punks will be displayed between 10am - 5pm. Come and view the modern day Hunky Punks!

🗿 What is a Hunky Punk? A stone sculpture from 15th century Somerset. These short squatted figures are found on church towers through the rural region - and on St Laurence church East Harptree. Their decorative features are deeply rooted in folklore and story-telling, depicting mythological creatures and animals.

Saturday's Roman Tablet Writing Workshop run by our artist in residence @louisnealeart was a great success! Everyone created their own rustic Roman Writing Tablet as the Romans would have long ago at Chew Valley. We chiseled into wooden tablets and poured hot bees wax into the grooves, then carved our own picture into the wax and wound nettle cordage to hang the tablet. The process was really interesting and we all had great fun. Everyone's work turned out amazingly!

Thank you Louis for making such a creative afternoon delving into history and crafts. And huge thanks to Rising Waters Community Project @valleyartscv for funding this workshop and collaborating with us on this project!

To see the final pieces come along to our at the exhibition of the works on 6th July at St Laurence Church as part of the Rising Waters Project celebration day! Really looking forward to showing these brilliant writing tablets 🪵🕯️✍🏻🏛️
