Getting creative in the Yurts with Stanhope Youth Group

After warming up in the cosy big Lapwing Yurt the members of Stanhope Youth Group were ready to get creative....

Mair and Bridget had set up the yurts with various weird and wonderful contraptions, here is what it looked like before the creative chaos began....


Tentatively the budding young artists explored the drawing tools that were on hand...




And then the fun began.....the young people began to make their mark on the communal drawing wall using the drawing tools provided as well as making their own..


A particularly fine sculptural head dress / drawing tool!


It was lovely to see groups working together, discussing and thinking through ideas, problem solving, but above all having fun..


Its amazing what you can do with some string, a pulley and some paint...


And then the sun came out and we moved outside for a finale performance of a rather explosive nature!!


A huge thank you to the volunteers who accompanied the young people on this splendid day and to Killhope for being so generous in providing the beautiful Lapwing yurt for us to use as our communal studio. We would also like to say thank you to Weardale Area Action Partnership for their generous support and last but not least the young people who came along and made it such a wonderful day of discovery and colourful fun.....................
