The Leaveners Women's Arts weekend

26th - 28th March 2010
Unstone Grange, Derbyshire

ABOUT THE PROJECT. . .

Women’s Arts Weekend is a unique chance to get together with others to creatively explore what it is to be a woman today. In an inspiring setting in the Derbyshire countryside, the weekend can offer time to reflect, to learn new ...skills and get arty!

There will be a wide variety of activities including drawing, painting, drama, craft workshops and more... absolutely no experience necessary!

Workshops may include such things as wicker-basket making, creative therapies, felting, co-operative/group art, drama games and exercises, creative writing, batik and discussion.

How to apply: Please fill in the form, cut it off (keeping the rest for your information) and return it, with a £30 deposit, or the full fee to:

The Leaveners, 1 The Lodge, 1046 Bristol Road, Birmingham, B29 6LJ

Its unlikely that Song of The Goat will happen in the near future, but we will be running a year round program of music making events so hopefully there should be something else happening that appeals.

Rachel I really enjoyed singing Tony Biggin's "Child of Light" yesterday, and Jenny Fishpool's memorial service was very moving. It was good to catch up with people I hadn't seen for several years...
