Hi again, our Shakin Summer drama summer school got off to a great start with a small but perfectly formed group of children at Layfield School in Yarm on Monday. The children will learn drama techniques, develop the script and dialogue, make costumes and design the set then perform for family and friends at the end of the week.

The mosaic project at Saltburn Learning Campus concludes today. A group of children from the primary and secondary school have been working with two artists to produce two mosaics which will be hung in the entrance and in the main entrance corridor to act as a welcome to the school. We can’t wait to see the results.

As previously mentioned, the Club Creative 2010/11 academic year wall planners are ready to be despatched. If you would like to order one, or your organisation would like a bulk order, please get in touch. A1 and in full colour, They make a much more  attractive calendar than your standard office wall chart!

Hi all, here is a call for artwork from my friend Leanne Pearce at Made In Newcastle. Please contact her directly if you can contribute.

At Made In Newcastle Leanne is organising and promoting a charity for Crisis Skylight, a homeless centre where she teaches. Leanne is putting the feelers out (well begging really) for pieces of beautiful artwork which they can auction to raise funds. All donations would be much appreciated and if indeed you could pass this message on (or post it on your sites) to any other talented artists who you think might be interested that would be better than amazing.

Hi all. All the summer activity is going incredibly well. There are still places on the ‘Shakin Shakespeare’ summer school next week so please get in touch if you are interested.

By tomorrow we will have worked with 400 children at the Step Up 7 Transition Days in Pickering & Malton. We’ve employed 4 artists, 8 assistants and a co-ordinator every day and a huge thanks goes out to them for all their hard work and enthusiasm. Look out for images and video of this fantastic multi arts summer school soon.

The workshops for Guisborough Police have been a huge success, enabling young people to engage with positive activity and learn new creative skills whilst helping to reduce the  instances of anti social behaviour. Graffiti Art has been the most popular to date!

Kilton Thorpe Special School arts summer school went really well with a wide range of workshops and activities. We look forward to resuming our excellent working relationship with film making workshops in September.

Workshops for Extended Schools in Great Ayton, Northallerton and Filey have been going OK, however numbers seemed low across the board in Filey and Northallerton. Extended Schools are looking into their publicity for next time.

Look out for news on Club Creative Merchandise coming soon!!
