We are delighted to have a guest blog from the fab Cheryl Metcalf, who has been coming to our group sessions. 

‘This image is part of an ongoing collection I decided to title Thought Patterns. I have a love for just getting down on paper/canvas any patterns/observations that pop into my head. I believe they start subconsciously and then find their way to my conscious mind. 

I call this one ‘Self Love’. 

‘Self Love’ is a mixed media using acrylics, inks, paint drips, stamping, and water, applied in layers on canvas.

I’ve recently started to post my poems and art work on Instagram - you can follow me here 

I have a few projects going on including a take on my local surroundings which is quite urban, and another one which is representation of body modification, which I find quite fascinating’

If you’re interested in making or crafting, this Saturday 28th May 2-4pm we have the first meeting of our new community-led Making and Crafting Group - open to all adults and young people over 14 - join us! More information here
