Local (ish) art ❤️
We’ve been working with clay today in Blackhall Library ❤️🎨
Tonight in our Horden group we’ve been learning about Mandala art work and having a go at designing our own. You’ll be seeing more Mandala designs over the next few months as we’ll be designing these onto pebbles for the community garden for everyone to enjoy...
And that’s the design complete for the platform art to be created by Vane Tempest Clas ❤️🎨
We’ve got lots going on here at a The Creative Place Seaham... why not take a look!
There’s still time to vote for us... if you’ve already been kind and given us your vote... why not give us a little Facebook share so your friends can too!
Busy morning with St Mary Magdalen’s on Seaham Beach for our Art project with Durham Heritage Coast

We had another great afternoon in St Mary Magdalene’s Primary... learning about Seaglass with Paula from Peblesrock and planning our station platform set for our heritage coast funded project ❤️🎨
Our friends at Projects4change are doing an amazing job!
Lots of planning and ideas for Horden Young Citizen Seniors for their newspaper and blog. All in order to get young peoples voices and opinions heard on issues which affect them. Watch this space for some exciting and inciting writing from the group...
'Set in Seaham' is a fun, family event brought to you by Seaham Youth Committee in association with Creative Youth Opportunities and CreativePop.
Join us on Sunday 30th June in Seaham Town Park and Town Hall for interactive performances, music, art workshops, stalls, activities and much much more... and help to create a Seaham inspired piece of art work!
A couple of months ago we met with the lovely Bumblebee Group from Westlea Nursery for their Town Hall visit when they met our friend Popple and created this great art work.. it’s on its way to Seaham Town Hall soon ❤️🎨
Our first event as CreativePop was great... working with my pal Popple is always fun ❤️
A excellent start to making weatherproof mats for those who are experiencing homelessness, making cornflake cakes and giving them to the community who access the church with our Alive Wires group tonight. All part of project ‘Kindness’ as sometimes it is just nice to be nice! Well done guys you were all fab and we can’t wait to see the finished product
Coming soon to Seaham...
Exciting collaboration coming soon with thanks to East Durham Creates ❤️🎨

Thanks very much for the activities you have put on for us over the six weeks holidays. We have had an excellent time and loved every minute. You kept every child entertained with your very friendly staff.
Thank-you so much for our photos from shoot... Very proud of my beautiful girls photos hope to get some more taken in near future
My daughter and I took part in the Crafty Cafe session and really enjoyed it. We love Erica's bird house she made.
