Arts for All September Newsletter!
September has been a wonderful month; here’s a look at everything we’ve been up to!
Southwark Cathedral and Borough Market
We spent a lovely day with the Rainbow Club wandering through Borough Market, looking at all the interesting stalls and, of course, enjoying some lovely free samples along the way!
We also explored the beautiful Southwark Cathedral, where everyone enjoyed sitting in all the important chairs! We finished the day with a lovely coffee and cake in the café.
The kids club is back in action!
We are so pleased to have the Kids Club back in action after the summer holidays! It’s been wonderful to welcome everyone back and see so many creative individuals excited to come along to Arts for All.
Robots making
Paper cups, lots of paper, a few split pins and some very creative minds came together to create lots of fantastic robots! Everyone loved this activity, and we had some wonderfully imaginative creations. A big thank you to Charli for coming up with such a brilliant idea!
Pottery is back
Last month, we had a lovely day in Newmarket with our good friends Stephen and Stephanie, where we enjoyed some pottery painting. We’ve now received our creations back after they were fired, and they have all turned out fantastically! Everyone was so pleased to see their finished pieces, and it was lovely to see just how different and creative each one was.
Crazy cactuses
Houseplants that don’t need to be watered - what could be better?
The Kaleidoscope Club had a fabulous time using lots of green paint to create their very own cardboard cacti. This was such a fun activity and was perfect for everyone, whatever their age. We think they look fantastic!
Devon trip has commenced
The annual and much-awaited Devon trip has arrived! This is the 11th year we have stayed at this hotel, and everyone seems to enjoy it more and more each year. Devon really is such a special place for everyone at Arts for All, and it’s always a highlight of the year. We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who helps to make this trip possible. We know how much it means to everyone, and we are so grateful to everyone who helps make these memories happen year after year.
Glass fusing
We started the week with a wonderful glass-fusing class, making cats and dogs! Everyone created their own glass animals, and they each have a magnet on the back, ready to take pride of place on everyone’s fridges. We think they look fantastic and can’t wait to see them displayed at home!
Welly wanging
What a fantastic game this was! The concept is very simple: throw a welly as far as you can! But we all had such a brilliant time. There was lots of laughter, and it quickly became one of the highlights of the trip! We would highly recommend giving welly wanging a go. We certainly couldn’t stop laughing!
Lovely pub trips
There are so many lovely pubs in Devon, and we have been very lucky to enjoy a drink in a few of the local favourites. The guys have loved going back to some of their favourite pubs, playing Jenga, cards and Uno, and of course having a good old chat with the locals.
Day out in Tavistock
We had a lovely day exploring Tavistock, browsing the charity shops, visiting the fudge and flapjack shops and, of course, stopping for a lovely coffee along the way. We were also blessed with some beautiful weather, which made for a perfect day out.
Memorial for Robert and Harvey
Devon holds such a special place in the hearts of everyone at Arts for All. Over the years, it has given us so many wonderful memories and special moments together, so it felt like the perfect place to create something in memory of our dear friends Robert and Harvey.
The guys each painted their own stones, and Charlie also hand-painted some lovely slates. Together, they have created a little place of remembrance for two very special people.
Robert and Harvey will always hold a special place in our hearts, and now they have a permanent place in a location that meant so much to all of us.
