The schools are working away with their artists on sculpture, animation, kites , flags and withy images, and Cape kicked off with a whole-school, whole-day arts extravaganza last monday which included filmaking,drama and willow image making, a whole lotta kids doing a whole lotta workshops. Community workshops beganin a more low key way with banner and costume making on Thursday at the textile room at Cape. This is a new venue for us, and fantastically resourced, but the 'shop suffered from being early and the first of a long list of activities, and it didn't pick up until it's third and last day, today, when it became a hive of fashion and design activity. Look out for Hello Kitty. Man, she is pink. Printmaking began today at Nancherrow - Jesse Leroy Smith is teaching us the basics of dry point printing - brilliantly easy to do, there were two year olds with finished prints at the end of the day, but it produces interesting, professional, finished objects. WANTED posters - to be posted around town, look out for the luggage labels. He'll be doing it all again tomorrow at 11, so head on down and tell St Just what you WANT. Liz and Graham are up at the Drill Hall for the next two weeks willowing around - if you want to know what this year's processional images are, that's the place to be. They are there to teach you all you need to know about building giants. Go and see what Coastwatch are up to, apart from guarding our seaways. BYO night was a huge success absolutely despite being on a miserable night. Music-fab, decor-outstanding, dancing-deplorable. Can't beat it with a big stick, long reign King Bruce. Highlights of next week are mud and sound sculpting at St Just primary, Scarecrow trails at St Buryan, playground games at the pre schools, and grown up sculpture trailling and poetry on Friday. See timetable for details, and come along, they are fun, they are free, and there are biscuits. See you there.
