We had a fabulous first week at our U.R.B.A.N and Arts Development open workshops in John Frost Square! Thanks to Stephanie Roberts for bringing her Urban Mosaic Project to the Shop for the week.

So this week I'm really excited about the start of the BLING project which will be running from our shop at 21-22 John Frost Square for the next 2 weeks, Monday - Friday 10.30 until 4.30 pm*.
Artist Vicky Wilson, The National Museum of Wales and Newport Youth service are working together to provide open workshops in Junk Jewellery making in which children can create beads/items that can be attached together to form giant necklaces which will be on display downstairs. You can add to and watch the necklaces grow as the two weeks progress! I can't wait to add something pretty and funky to the chain, what will you add? The possibilities are endless!
Vicky will also be running specialist masterclasses in jewellery making for older children and teenagers. These must be pre-booked and all creations will feature in an exhibition at a National Museum of wales venue later in the year before they are returned! How exciting? The chance to make some Bling and an exhibition!
Keep an eye on our Facebook page and the website for photos, comments and updates about the workshop at the end of the week!
