The Final Piece.. Unveiled!

Come and see the final piece created by the local community who attended the Keepsakes workshops over the summer. Sophy did a brilliant job putting this colourful map of Bridgwater all together and I think it looks great! 

You can see this at Victoria Park Community Centre in Bridgwater, Somerset from 14th Sept 2011 to 2nd Oct 2011. This is being exhibited as part of Somerset Art Weeks.

Many thanks to everyone who came and supported this project! It wouldn't have happened with you folks!

Your Memories

Some of our new participants had memories of getting lost in ASDA at Christmas time, trying to save a friend's cat that nearly fell into the dock and discovering the proverbs on the huge beams across the canal for the first time.

Keepsakes Boxes 

Our new participants began work on their Keepsake boxes while planning what they could put in them. Meanwhile everybody else finished decorating key landmarks and putting finishing touches to our map. 

We felt really proud to show off our work to Bridgwater Mercury photographer who came to take our picture.
