Golowan Festival launch goes down a treat

Golowan Festival used the container to recruit volunteers and launch this years festival. 'What a fantastic space' they said.

Tea by the Sea



Was a great success with over 200 pieces of cake eaten, families reunited and Corrina Stratton Darling promising to return for the closing party on the 23rd April

Mending and Dying Workshop

This Friday saw the lovely and very talented Francesca Owen and Sue Bamford spend a day in the container. Sue did a great job fixing jeans and helping with the natural dying process. Francesca had brought alone some amazing Solar Dyes, lots of beetroot, eucalyptus and marigolds to transform some boring white fabrics, all without using any nasty chemicals!!
We didn't get the best weather but it was a great day none the less, check out Francesca's Colour Garden outside Newlyn Art Gallery, a ongoing project transforming a scrub of land into a vibrate batch of plants for dying.
