Warm Space Workshops

Seed have been working with Homes in Sedgemoor to provide creative experiences in community spaces. An opportunity to practice creativity, learn new skills, venture out and connect with others while enjoying a warm space and refreshments. For many Sedgemoor residents, especially those who are vulnerable, the opportunity and confidence necessary to venture out of the home after lockdown had barely returned before the cost of living created an additional set of challenges to participating in cultural life. Luckily Homes in Sedgemoor have spaces within their communities for social and cultural activities. So Seed have been working with the HIS Warm Spaces Coordinator and HIS  residents to bring those spaces to life with a programme of winter workshops in Cheddar, Burnham, Woolavington and Bridgwater.

Seed provided 20 hours of art, music, life story telling and movement sessions and there are place for residents to go on further day trips to visit the Cheddar Individuality Exhibition and Front Garden Music Festival in Burnham – organised by HIS.

The programme includes ceramics with Bridget Hemmings and the Cheddar Individuality team, storytelling, music-making and visual art with Jem Dick and Sharon Jacksties, voicing women’s stories and local history with the Lady Garden team, and life journaling with Jess Cunningham and Fiona Hulme.

Quotes

“I have enjoyed every session, especially the clay. I hadn’t picked up clay since my children were young. I really enjoyed it and was pleased with the result. Bridget was very clear.”

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everything. I loved the Lady Garden*, they were brilliant. I would have been happy for them to come every week.”

“I loved the music workshop. It reminded me of sitting around the campfire and such meaningful stories Jem told. I’d never come across such instruments before and was able to make a tune straight away.”

“I’ve got depression and anxiety so it’s worked well for me as it’s brought me out of the house. I’ve really enjoyed and been enlightened by the guest speakers. I was enthralled by Sharon’s storytelling.”
