Craft and Textiles

This term the group learned and improved their hand sewing skills and made their own sewing patterns. They learnt and experimented with embroidery stitches and techniques. They followed a pattern to make a sewing kit, personalising with hand embroidery and creating their own buttons from polymer clay. For their final project they designed and made their own sewing patterns to make 3D soft sculptures, which are wonderfully creative and inspired!

Nimbus Sounds: Our partnership to provide young people with access to music

Creative Youth Network, Basement Studios, Trinity Arts Centre and Aspiration Elevation Creation (ACE), work together to create a journey for young people, many of whom have limited access to music provision. It allows young people to create music in settings that they feel comfortable and no matter what their level of experience - from within their youth clubs, through to bespoke courses and even up to developing original tracks and progressing into professional music opportunities.

This term on the Art Course we have been having fun and learning new creative activities. During our group zoom sessions we have been learning briefly the history of Mandala Art, the benefits of it and where it originates from.
Music

Over the past five weeks, the young people have learned through participation. Exploring contemporary music production techniques such as drum programming, using midi controllers to play a variety of software instruments and samplers.
Animation

From flip books to shadow puppets, the young people learnt a lot of new skills and applied them through making short films. All the animations are experimental, from exciting new ideas.
Dance

Young people learnt new choreography every week, used props and personal experience to develop solos and duets exploring things that weight us down and how to relieve ourselves from them.
