✍🏼 CREATIVE ROUTE • where will your creative eye take you?

… a Friday afternoon to look, observe, sketch and explore.

We’ll take our inspiration from the world around us - visiting local museums and galleries, exploring interesting places and spending time really looking at what we see.

What catches your eye? • What makes you stop and look? • Can you capture it in a sketch?

Through simple drawing and observation, we’ll explore line, shape, form, texture, detail and perspective, developing our confidence in seeing and recording the world around us.

Sometimes the best way to discover art is simply to slow down and look …

✨ What a lovely evening! ✨

We were in Spennymoor last night celebrating the wonderful work created by our community over the past year - and it was really special and such a lovely atmosphere as people wandered around, spotting their own work, discovering pieces they hadn’t seen before, sharing stories and simply enjoying being together.

The walls were filled with creativity, ideas, experiences and the courage to try something new. It’s what makes working within the community so special … the people, connections and moments that happen along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who has joined us on the journey … created with us, we’re incredibly proud of each and every one of you 🎨💜

And a very special thank you to Michael for Spennymoor Youth and Community Association for giving us such a wonderful space to share it all and for hosting such a lovely evening.

Thank you to our amazing funders and partners for helping make these opportunities possible:

Pioneering Care Partnership – Happiness Hubs Fund •
Durham County Council – Big Arts Fund & Spennymoor AAP • Heart of Spennymoor

Here’s to more creativity, more connection and more reasons to come together. ✨

STORIES UNFOLD : DAY 3 • the room was even busier today … more young people joined us, bringing with them an explosion of words, ideas and excited creativity. Pens raced across pages, paint found its way onto paper, and stories began to take on lives of their own.

There was something really special in the room today… moments of bravery. Young people sharing pieces of themselves; thoughts, feelings, memories and imagination. Listening without judgement, encouraging one another, and discovering that every voice has a story worth telling.

Three days in, and it’s a joy to watch confidence grow alongside creativity. We can’t wait to see how these stories unfold tomorrow ✨📚✏️

STORIES UNFOLD : DAY 2 • another fantastic day spent creating together … a room full of teenagers discovering ideas, building confidence and letting their imaginations lead the way: sketching • writing • chatting • encouraging • creating.

Today’s stories grew a little deeper, characters found their voices and blank pages became full of colour, words and possibility. It’s been wonderful watching everyone inspire one another and seeing each person’s creativity shine in their own unique way …

… again excited to see what tomorrow brings as these ideas continue to unfold ✨📚✏️
