The end of another mad week at POP. Some quiet days but the busy days were manic, with Radio Lancashire spending the afternoon with us on Wednesday and a Saturday which really feels like productive engagement is happening. People keep coming back to us! Families, the groups of teenagers who gather on Church Street and adults are really getting involved, getting to know us and feel at home. They are joining in with projects and begining to think about what they are producing.Saturday's workshop was sculpture with Carl Jackson. The group made some fantastic figures and vehicles using bits of broken toys. Amazing results.
Around that Bev and I took a 5 metre banner outside for the kids to draw around each other. Some then came in to paint it. Also Bev and I donned white boiler suits - Reminded me of a Woody Allen film but not saying which one -and went outside with paint to become living art. Really caused a stir.
And to cap it all off our 1000th visitor came in just before the end of the day. Fantastic. we all went home very satisfied.

Further proof - if it were needed - that Bev and Keith are ever so slightly off it - but it hasn't half got people interested, talking and engaging with the project and ultimately with art and creative activities.
This banner will hang in the window.
The banner makes a great superhero cape! 
Painting the banner.
